execute commands as su on remote server

[Julio Oña]

Hi,

try to use http://www.fabfile.org/

look at:
http://docs.fabfile.org/en/latest/api/core/operations.html

sudo() call has the posibility to change to another user besides root, with:

with settings(sudo_user='mysql'):
    sudo("whoami") # prints 'mysql'
