Skyrun
Skyrun is a small utility library to assist running local scripts on remote servers. With Skyrun you can log into a remote server and run a script of any kind (such as bash, node, python etc. Just provide the appropriate hash bang).
Installing Skyrun
To use skyrun from the cli, install skyrun globally
npm install -g skyrun
Using Skyrun from the CLI
eg
skyrun user@host path/to/script.sh
Using Skyrun Programmically
At the moment Skyrun only supports logging into remote hosts via ssh public key authentication. Password authentication via ssh is not supported.
var skyrun = require('skyrun');
var options = {
'host':'remote server',
'user':'user to log in with' // optional. Defaults to current user
'identity':'private key', // optional
}
var server = skyrun.createServer(options);
server.run('local/path/to/myscript.sh', function(err, stderr, stdout) {
if (err) {
if (typeof(err['code']) !== 'undefined' && err['code'] === 1) {
// There was an error running the script
} else {
// There was an attempting to run the script. Possibly a network or authentication problem.
}
}
else {
// No error. have a look in stdout to see the output of the script
}
});
