Shexy

SSH, the way I like it.

Install

gem install shexy

Do it

require 'shexy'

Shexy.user = 'test'
Shexy.password = 'test'
Shexy.host = 'test-host'
out, err = Shexy.exe 'ls -la'
out.empty? # no output
err.empty? # no error output

Shexy.exe 'la -la' do |out,err|
  puts out
  puts err
end

Another way, assuming you are using SSH keys and added them to the SSH agent (ssh-add ~/.ssh/my-priv-key):

Shexy.exe 'test@test-host', 'ls -la' do |out, err|
  puts out
end
Shexy.exe 'echo hello' # no need to add host/user again

Specify key to use:

Shexy.key = '~/.ssh/id_rsa'
out, err, exit_code = Shexy.exe 'test@test-host', 'ls -la'

Copying files (local -> remote):

Shexy.copy_to 'test@test-host', '/home/rubiojr/my-uber-file', '/tmp/'

Batch mode:

Shexy.batch do
  script <<-EOH
    echo > /tmp/foo
    ls -la
    sed -i s/foo/bar/ /etc/foo
  EOH
end

Use sudo:

 Shexy.use_sudo
 # sudo will be used to run the commands
 Shexy.exe '[email protected]', 'echo | cat' # => sudo echo | sudo cat

Query the server OS:

 Shexy.distro          # => :ubuntu, :redhat, :centos, :fedora, :debian
 Shexy.distro_release  # => 12.04, 5.8, etc.

More helpers:

 Shexy.user = 'rubiojr'
 Shexy.password = 'secret'
 Shexy.host = 'foo.com'
 # Copy the key to /home/rubiojr/.ssh/authorized_keys in remote server
 Shexy.copy_ssh_pubkey '~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'
 # Set PermitRootLogin to without-password in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
 # requires sudo in remote server (unless using root user).
 Shexy.permit_root_login 'without-password'

Caution

I was bored writing net-ssh boilerplate, so I created this highly experimental sh*t (a small amount of it, but experimental).
