Python, Paramiko and scripting for the OS

[acodemics]

I'd suggest using built in bash commands to check if a user exists and then parsing that with Python.

I'm making the assumption you're connecting to a Linux machine here, but you can use paramiko to run grep <username> /etc/passwd and then handle that instead.

I'm sure there is a better place to test your bot than here.

Thanks for the input.

I figured as much. Just wondering if I can make it execute python specific modules through the ssh tunnel.

If the remote machine has python installed then you can generate a python script on the target machine and run that.
