using subprocess.popen with ssh - python -

i'm trying run python script host clients via subprocess.popen. command sort of fire , forget , process in clients should run unlimited time untill kill it. problem - when run line in python process run on clients hour , stops after 1 hour , 2 minutes :

subprocess.popen(["rsh {} {} {}".format(ipclient,command,args)], shell=true) 

where "command" path , command in clients. , when run rsh 'ip' 'command' 'args' in shell works expected , not stop suddenly.

any idea?

while subprocess.popen might work wrapping ssh access, not preferred way so.

i recommend using paramiko.

import paramiko ssh_client = paramiko.sshclient() ssh_client.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.autoaddpolicy()) ssh_client.connect(server, username=user,password=password) ... ssh_client.close() 

and if want simulate terminal, if user typing:

chan=self.ssh_client.invoke_shell()  def exec_cmd(cmd):     """gets ssh command(s), execute them, , returns output"""     prompt='bash $' # command line prompt in ssh terminal     buff=''     chan.send(str(cmd)+'\n')     while not chan.recv_ready():         time.sleep(1)     while not buff.endswith(prompt):         buff+=self.chan.recv(1024)     return buff[:len(prompt)] 

example usage: exec_cmd('pwd')

if don't know prompt in advance, can set with:

chan.send('ps1="python-ssh:"\n')
