Hello Andrei,

as I told you, remote_commander was implemented by Jiří Župka 2 years ago just before he had left the company. The intention was to provide universal remote execution utility.

It was meant to be language independent (running python/bash/xxx on the other side) and transport independent (tcp/serial console/virtio_console/pipe/...) and to avoid problem in the channel the communication is encoded.

remote_commander is a very nice feature, the only problem is no users. So feel free to take it and adjust it to your needs, but beware it was never really used so it will probably contain bugs (there is at least one known bug described in the PRs).

Happy hacking,
Lukáš

Hello.

I know that "remote_commander" is not widely used. There is only one
example how to use it. But, anyway... I do not understand one approach.
To be exact : why are pickable-commands encoded with Base64? What is
wrong about sending raw Python strings?

Thanks!
