I have a python script that opens multiple concurrent pseudo-tty ssh sessions to a server. My problem is that the output is garbled:
for i in range(0, 3):
subprocess.Popen(
"ssh -tt -q myserver 'echo 11; echo 22; echo 33; echo 44;'",
shell=True
)
Output:
11
22
33
44
11
22
33
44
11
22
33
44
The output varies. Sometimes it works, but most of the time I get those weird indentations. In reality I want to launch remote python processes (a locust load gen slave), but I've simplified it to just use echo.
Things I've tried:
- universal_newlines=True, bufsize=1 (doesnt help)
- remove -tt (fixes the output but has the undesired side effect of remote processes not dying right away if python/ssh is terminated)
- piping to cat -e to get hidden characters (for debugging):
11^M$
22^M$
33^M$
44^M$
11$
22$
33$
44$
11$
22$
33$
44$
I'm not sure if is even a python issue or just an SSH issue. My guess is that I need to use some sort of line buffering, but I dont know how :-/
I'm on MacOS Mojave, and I've tried both in iTerm2 and Term if that matters.
