• Fabric: simple pythonic deployment. Fabric: simple pythonic deployment.

  Fabric is a simple pythonic remote deployment tool.

  It is designed to upload files to, and run shell commands on, a number of servers in parallel or serially. These commands are grouped in tasks (regular python functions) and specified in a 'fabfile.'

  This is called remote automation, and the primary use case is deploying applications to multiple similar hosts.

• Terminal Tip: Burning a disc did you know that you can burn discs right from the Terminal window with a simple command and a drag/drop? Just enter the following command followed by the path to a folder or disk image:

  drutil burn filehere

  Don't type the "filehere" — that's where you put the path to the file/folder that you wish to burn. You can either type the location manually or drag and drop the file onto the Terminal window. But that's not all you can do with drutil; you can also eject media from the optical drive by typing "drutil eject." To see all of the available drutil options, just type in drutil for a quick list or man drutil for a full description.
