NEW
---
- Added -E to redirect all stderr output to stdout instead,
- Added -T timeout option (default is 15 sec).
- Added -a to allow program to continue after file transfer error.
- Added -l logging option. Defaults to /dev/null. This fixes the error
that was previously being reported:
"No handlers could be found for logger "paramiko.transport"
CHANGES
-------
- Changed hostname separator from ':' to '-' when using the -G command.
- The HOSTNAME and HOSTSHORT built-in names no longer use < and > as
delimiters, but use a double underbar instead as in: __HOSTNAME__.
This change was made to avoid having to quote these metacharacters
since they are used by the shell for redirection.
- Error messages now more consistent and clear.
BUG FIXES
---------
- Fixed bug that prevented the proper dereferencing of HOSTNAME
in file transfer specifications.
- Fixed bug that prevented '.define' variables from being substituted
in file transfer specifications.
- Fixed bug that only recognized sudo invocations if they were the
first statement on a command line. All instances of the string
"sudo " will now force sudo password prompting and processing.
That string is ignored if it appears inside single- or double quotes.
- Fixed bug that intermittently occurred during password-based auth
sessions because ssh-agent and key searching were still being used.
- Fixed error reporting blowout when key-exchange auth fails.
TODO
----
- Restructure __HOSTNAME__, __HOSTSHORT__ processing to must make
them part of the symbol table.
- Add the following builtins:
__DATE__
__DATETIME__
__TIME__
__``__
__()__
- Do testmode substitions.
sudoers Mode
------------
- Capture bad password
- Capture failed command output
- Write the server noise, as it appears to stderr for debug purposes
- Note in docs: In this mode it will HANG waiting for interactive input.
- Note in docs: There is no separation between stdout and sterr in this mode
