     4 == Description
       
     5 
       
     6 This is a small collection of base classes used for interacting with
       
     7 remote machines over ssh.  With them, you can use AMQP (via Symphony) to
       
     8 run batch commands, execute templates as scripts, and perform any
       
     9 batch/remoting stuff you can think of without the need of a separate
       
    10 client agent.
       
    11 
       
    12 These classes assume you have a user that can connect and login to
       
    13 remote machines using a password-less ssh keypair.  They are not meant
       
    14 to be used directly.  Subclass them!
       
    15 
       
    16 See the rdoc for additional information and examples.

    19 == Options
       
    20 
       
    21 Symphony-ssh uses
       
    22 Configurability[https://rubygems.org/gems/configurability] to determine
       
    23 behavior.  The configuration is a YAML[http://www.yaml.org/] file.

    42 
       
    43 === path
       
    44 
       
    45 The absolute path to the ssh binary.
       
    46 
       
    47 === user
       
    48 
       
    49 The default user to connect to remote hosts with.  This can be
       
    50 changes per connection in the AMQP payload.
       
    51 
       
    52 === key
       
    53 
       
    54 An absolute path to a password-less ssh private key.
       
    55 
       
    56 === opts
       
    57 
       
    58 SSH client options, passed to the ssh binary on the command line.  Note
       
    59 that the defaults have been tested fairly extensively, these are just
       
    60 exposed if you have very specific needs and you know what you're doing.

    63 == Installation
       
    64 
       
    65     gem install symphony-ssh
       
    66

    70 You can check out the current development source with Mercurial via its
       
    71 {project page}[http://bitbucket.org/mahlon/symphony-metronome]. 
       
    72 
       
    73 After checking out the source, run:
       
    74 
       
    75     $ rake
       
    76 
       
    77 This task will run the tests/specs and generate the API documentation.
       
    78 
       
    79 If you use {rvm}[http://rvm.io/], entering the project directory will
       
    80 install any required development dependencies.
