Execute non-blocking process remotely

Question

I am using paramiko to run a command on remote server. This execution is initiated from a django website. I would not want the django website to be waiting while the command on the remote server is running i.e. I do not care what happens once the process is initiated.

How can I run this command in a non-blocking manner from the website? I had used paramiko once and did notice that exec_command() waits for the remote command to complete before returning the control to the callee.

Answer 1

plumbum is perfect for this. The docs explain how you can run commands in the background, and how to integrate with paramiko.
