[Fab-user] Threading and Sudo in Fab 2

[Bonnie H]

Hi Fabric Community,

I am running in to a problem converting my code from Fabric 1 to 2. I have a set of scripts that run commands on remote hosts in parallel and as sudo. I have not been able to find a way to do this in Fabric 2. >From what I can tell, I could use ThreadingGroup to achieve the parallelism I want, and I can use Connections to achieve the sudo commands I want, but Group is lacking sudo. I found a user on Stack Overflow with my exact question, but I don’t think the answer is satisfactory (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52187967/fabric-2-3-parallel-execution-of-sudo-commands). If it was that easy, it would have been implemented already, right?

Has anyone else had this problem? What do you recommend? I am currently heading down the path of the SO answer – adding the sudo code from Connection to ThreadingGroup. Is there a better way? 

Thanks in advance!

Bonnie
