**rcontrol** is a python library based on **paramiko** intended to work
with remote machines via ssh.

Unlike **fabric**, it is intended to perform tasks in an asynchronous way,
and to work with python >= 2.7 (including **python 3**).

Please note that this is under development! I am waiting for feedback,
ideas and contributors to make this tool evolve.

Basic example:

.. code-block:: python

from rcontrol.ssh import SshSession, ssh_client
from rcontrol.core import SessionManager

def log(task, line):
print("%r: %s" % (task, line))

with SessionManager() as sessions:
# create sessions on two hosts
sessions.bilbo = SshSession(
ssh_client('http://bilbo.domain.com', 'user', 'pwd'))
sessions.nazgul = SshSession(
ssh_client('http://nazgul.domain.com', 'user', 'pwd'))

# run commands in parallel
sessions.bilbo.execute("uname -a && sleep 3", on_stdout=log)
sessions.nazgul.execute("uname -a && sleep 3", on_stdout=log)

This example just show you how **rcontrol** looks like. Look at the
documentation on http://rcontrol.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ if you're
interested to see more!

What **rcontrol** can do
========================

* execute multiple commands on local and remote hosts in an asynchronous way
(it is up to you to synchronize them)

* define timeout and output timeout for the commands

* attach callbacks when a line is read (stdout or stderr), on timeout and
when the commands are finished

* copy files and directories from one host to another

What **rcontrol** needs (contributors, you're welcome!)
=======================================================

* be able to stop (kill) a command (local or remote)

* more file operations

* love

How to install
==============

Use pip. ::

pip install -U rcontrol
