hive.py
++This script creates SSH connections to a list of hosts that +you provide. Then you are given a command line prompt. Each +shell command that you enter is sent to all the hosts. The +response from each host is collected and printed. For example, +you could connect to a dozen different machines and reboot +them all at once. ++ +
script.py
++ This implements a command similar to the classic BSD +"script" command. + This will start a subshell and log all input and +output to a file. + This demonstrates the interact() method of Pexpect. ++ +
fix_cvs_files.py
++ This is for cleaning up binary files improperly +added to CVS. + This script scans the given path to find binary +files; + checks with CVS to see if the sticky options are set +to -kb; + finally if sticky options are not -kb then uses 'cvs +admin' to + set the -kb option. ++ +
ftp.py
++ This demonstrates an FTP "bookmark". + This connects to an ftp site; does a few ftp stuff; +and then gives the user + interactive control over the session. In this case +the "bookmark" is to a + directory on the OpenBSD ftp server. It puts you in +the i386 packages + directory. You can easily modify this for other +sites. + This demonstrates the interact() method of Pexpect. ++ +
monitor.py
++ This runs a sequence of commands on a remote host +using SSH. + It runs a simple system checks such as uptime and +free to monitor + the state of the remote host. ++ +
passmass.py
++ This will login to each given server and change the +password of the + given user. This demonstrates scripting logins and +passwords. ++ +
python.py
++ This starts the python interpreter and prints the +greeting message backwards. + It then gives the user iteractive control of Python. +It's pretty useless! ++ +
rippy.py
++ This is a wizard for mencoder. It greatly simplifies +the process of + ripping a DVD to Divx (mpeg4) format. It can +transcode from any + video file to another. It has options for resampling +the audio stream; + removing interlace artifacts, fitting to a target +file size, etc. + There are lots of options, but the process is simple +and easy to use. ++ +
sshls.py
++ This lists a directory on a remote machine. ++
ssh_tunnel.py
++ This starts an SSH tunnel to a remote machine. It +monitors the connection + and restarts the tunnel if it goes down. ++
uptime.py
++ This will run the uptime command and parse the +output into variables. + This demonstrates using a single regular expression +to match the output + of a command and capturing different variable in +match groups. + The grouping regular expression handles a wide variety of different +uptime formats. ++ +
