I have developed custom Drush commands that includes some shell commands all which work locally. I would like them to work also on the remote instance with aliases that have the remote settings. Here is how the shell commands are currently executed: //executes command

function execute_command($command)
{
    drush_log(dt('COMMAND: @command', array('@command' => $command)), 'notice');
    //any shell command fore example 'cp some/source dest/dir','tar xvf some.tgz',etc
    drush_shell_exec($command);
    drush_log(drush_shell_exec_output(), 'debug');
}

So, I would like to wrap this into some Drush API so they also execute on remote instance. Is it possible? How should I make the shell commands part of my custom Drush commands to run on the remote instance when user does something like:

drush @remote-alias custom-command

Thank You

I believe the remote site also has to have the commands as well in order to execute successfully.

  • Did you have to add the commands to the remote site?

  • yes. The Drush custom commands have to be installed on the remote instance to work

  • As I thought. Also, consider version controlling commands so if you change them you can issue a git pull on the remote server to keep everything in sync.

  • You should be able to get around your sudo problem by creating a sudoers file - tho that is off-topic for this board.
