Sending Commands to a raspberry pi

[hmh7]

Hello World,
I wanted to ask if it is possible to send commands to the raspberry pi remotely using python. I did lots of search and couldn't find anything similar to what I want.
I want to send commands such as gweb and mv.
Regards

Best thing is to use MQTT to link machines together and have your Python program receive these and act on them - the program can check that the command is in a limited list and ignore those that are not.

Giving anything access (especially root access) to a machine is very dangerous for network security.

A good coverage of Python MQTT is at http://www.steves-internet-guide.com

In brief, and assuming the machine running your python code has ssh client installed:

• Set up key based login
• In your code use somthing like

  Code: Select all

  os.system('ssh user@host command')

fabric2 allows to execute commands on a remote machine.

or consider thrift. https://thrift.apache.org/
it allows to execute methods in a remote python (or c, java, ...) application.

You can remotely access it by ssh and vnc server and can make changes as well as run commands
