Hello World CLI Example

We are going to connect to localhost using ssh and then execute a command using Reemote.

Check out the Reemote git repo.

git clone git@github.com:kimjarvis/reemote.git
cd reemote

Modify the file localhost.py to add your user name and your password. This is an inventory file. It describes the hosts on which the Reemote command will run. In this case its localhost.

from typing import List, Tuple, Dict, Any

def inventory() -> List[Tuple[Dict[str, Any], Dict[str, str]]]:
    return [({'host': 'localhost',        # Host
              'username': 'youruser',     # User name
              'password': 'yourpassword'  # Password
    },{})]

Now we can now execute a class using the Reemote CLI.

reemote -i ~/localhost.py -s examples/hello_world_cli/main.py -c Hello_world

This executes the following class in main.py

class Hello_world:
    def execute(self):
        r = yield Shell("echo Hello World!")
        print(r.cp.stdout)

You should see the output of the command and an execution report.
