Robot framework + SSH Library + Monitor a log file until a string matches using Jython

SSH library installation.

1. Download SSH library and install using "jython setup.py install" command
2. Download Trilead-ssh2-1.0.0-build217.jar file and put it in a folder
3. Add that folder in the "CLASSPATH"

Eg: E:\Robot\trilead-ssh2-1.0.0-build217.jar;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

4. Similarly add "robot" folder in the JYTHONPATH

Eg: C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robot;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages

5. Execute command jython -c "import SSHLibrary" for verification

Sample SSH Robot script

*** Settings ***
Documentation  Open Notepad using Sikuli and Robotframework

Library    SSHLibrary

*** Variables ***
${HOST}                192.168.10.135
${USERNAME}            test
${PASSWORD}            test

Execute and expect a new session
    ${OUT}=    Execute Command    timeout 5 tail -f -n 1 /var/log/messages | awk '/vallikkv/;/vallikkv/ { exit }'
    BuiltIn.Log to console    ${OUT}
    BuiltIn.Should Not Be Equal    ${OUT}    \  
    

Closing the connections
    BuiltIn.Log to console    Test
    Close All Connections


ButiltIn.Log to console -> This is how, use the inbuilt keywords of robot(python) in jython scripts

Shell command to monitor log file until specific "word" matches, if not exit the script in 5 seconds


timeout 5 tail -f -n 1 /var/log/messages | awk '/vallikkv/;/vallikkv/ { exit }'
