[Fab-user] not fabbing to *nix

[lconrad]

I'm learning fab in a project to program Occam blades, etc.   the fab 
or python script will be passed 5 params from a PHP web app, params 
entered by the web user.

there's no unix type shell in Occam, so excluding the ip, user, 
password env stuff :

env.shell=""


def test():
   run("show subscriber all")


I run it:

fab test --show=debug

Using fabfile '/usr/local/bin/fabfile.py'

Commands to run: test

Parallel tasks now using pool size of 0

[10.75.xx.xx] run:  "show subscriber all"
[10.75.xx.xx] out:
[10.75.xx.xx] out: WARNING: Authorized Access Only
[10.75.xx.xx] out:
[10.75.xx.xx] out: OCM#

the prompt is the last line.   if I type:

show subscriber all

it works, but doesn't work in fab when run in fab

Is fab the wrong tool?

thanks
