Re: (off-topic) Quick method of sending files from ssh to clients

This thread is already off topic - so thought I should +1 on pexpect. 

Anyone who hasn't tried it already - should defo take a look.

Used it in quite a few data scrapping Django projects (mostly for talking with devices on RS232 over TCP) - it's very nice.

Hello, (this is my first post here), just thought it might be helpful to mention python's pexpect module.  It's used like this:

rcmd="ssh root@%s /etc/init.d/firewall restart"%(IP_SOMEWHERE)

foo = pexpect.spawn(rcmd)

... following up to myself, one of the main benefits to this approach
is you can have multiple -a arguments to attach multiple files, and if
you run just 'mutt -a /path/to/file -a /path/to/file2', it will
interactively ask you to fill in the blanks.

Although a bit long in the tooth, I think mutt is probably still king
of the console mail clients. :-)
