paramiko SSH exec_command(shell script) returns before completion
I launch a shell script from a remote Linux machine using paramiko. The shell script is launched and execute a command make -j8. However the exec_command returns before the completion of the make. If I launch the script on the local machine it executes correctly. Could someone explain me this behaviour ? You need to wait for application to finish, exec_command isn't a blocking call. print now(), "before call" stdin, stdout, sterr = ssh.exec_command("sleep(10)") print now(), "after call" channel = stdout.channel print now(), "before status" status = channel.recv_exit_status() print now(),
