Hi David, Interactive prompting is still on the todo list, unfortunately. Fabric is capable of re-prompting for sudo and login passwords, but we haven't yet extended that to a more generic "is the remote end prompting us for input?" functionality (which is a harder nut to crack than simply parsing for a specific password prompt).
So, you're not missing anything: that's just not possible right now. But we hope to have it implemented in the near future :) Best, Jeff On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 9:08 AM, Hancock, David (dhancock) <[email protected]> wrote: > I can't seem to see and respond to prompts (shell "read" commands) using the > Fabric shell, and I'd be grateful for people telling me what I'm doing > wrong. > > I'm trying to run the command line "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure" as part > of installing Oracle, and no matter whether I enter it at a "fab>" shell > prompt or via the run() command, the script reaches the first prompt and > stops.
