Description of problem: there is a need for wrapper which will behave the same as login(1) which would allow us to execute commands like: > qash [-u USER] COMMAND This is a prerequisite for removing rhts-compat. Existing projects: - refried's qa*r*sh utility[1] - this is running over network - we can not rely on network. - login(1) - this naturally does not allow executing commands. - I thought of using screen (or other tools like that) - may be unstable when screen itself is under test Options? - shall we use expect with login? - would need special PAM or password in env.variable - shall we fork one or the other upstream? - maintenance?

Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.
Beah is no longer supported by Beaker development team. Instead of that, we are working on Restraint test harness. You can find all the features of Restraint here. https://restraint.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ If you think your RFE should be still implemented as part of Restraint feel free to create a new BZ ticket. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Restraint In case you have any question feel free to reach out to me Thank you, Martin Styk <martin.styk>
