The caller can disable this option on calls to
remote_execute() which will automatically close
the connection after successful execution.
NOTE: This is a significant logical change in the
logic of remote_execute. The previous version of
the method closed the connection *by default* each
time remote_execute was called. This changes that
behavior to be completely opposite, where the
connection will always remain open *unless* keepalive
is set to False, like so:
# automatically closes the connection
client.execute('echo hello', keepalive=False)
the default will keep the connection alive:
# both commands run on the same transport instance
client.execute('echo hello one')
client.execute('echo hello two')
This change also adds the context managers to RemoteShell,
so that you can ensure that the connection will be closed
without having to rely on the controversial __del__(), which
has also been implemented for RemoteShell in this submission.
To use the context manager ( with statement ):
with RemoteShell('123.123.123.2') as client:
client.execute('echo hello')
client.execute('echo again')
The sysinfo providers will now use the context manager
implementation. See `get_systeminfo` in ohai_solo.py
and posh_ohai.py
