[Avocado-devel] remote_commander

[Lukáš Doktor]

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
