[santosh kumar]

All,

I have a requirement where i need to do the following.

#su - oracle
once logged in as user oracle need to run some commands from there
$ id
$ whoami

so i can achieve this in shell in this formate

ssh <hostname> 'su - oracle' <<EOF
id
whoami
EOF

Please do let me know how can i achieve this on multiple nodes.

Thanks,

Hi santosh,

can you use sudo on the target host? I think it’s the easiest way:

from fabric.api import sudo

sudo('id', user='oracle')
sudo('whoami', user='oracle')

If not, you should run:

from fabric.api import run

run('su - oracle -c id')
run('su - oracle -c whoami')

To ease its usage you can create a context manager, similar to prefix()
<http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.13/api/core/context_managers.html#fabric.context_managers.prefix>,
but you will have to handle the way to pass the oracle password.

Regards
