On a *nix box this is a reasonable bit of Python :
cmd = "ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -i %s %s@%s '%s' > %s" % (key,
user, dns, "echo CONNECTION READY", tmp_file)
result = os.system(cmd)
... on a Windows box it will fail because 'ssh' isn't part of Windows.
There *are* ways of achieving the equivalent functionality in Windows,
eg
putty.exe -ssh user@host
... and that's only one of them.
So I'm interested in suggestions/examples where a user can update a
config file to specify by which means they want (in this case) the ssh
functionality to be supplied.
I'm thinking of something in a config file like this ...
ssh_dropin = {exec: 'putty.exe -ssh %s@%s', args:['auser','somehost']}
... which I think would work and be sufficiently flexible to deal with
alternatives to putty.exe but is there a more established (...
better !) way of doing this stuff ?
Thanks
Richard.
