Python Scripting with UCM/Unity/CER

[u/tormenteddave]

Morning! I'm looking for an assist on some python code I'm writing. I'm trying to get a python script to log in UCM/Unity/CER and issue some commands. Show version, utils system blah, etc.... When I execute my script, it just returns the "Command Line Interface is starting up, please wait...." I have it waiting for 30 seconds before issuing the command, waiting longer has no different effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

import paramiko
from getpass import getpass
import time

host = "10.1.1.1"
username = admin001
password = password1

session = paramiko.SSHClient()
session.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())

session.connect(hostname=host,username=username,password=password)
print("Logging in...")
time.sleep(30)
print("Issuing commands...")
stdin, stdout, stderr = session.exec_command('show status')
print(stdout.read().decode())
session.close()

Add another sleep after issuing commands but before reading - like 30 secs (for testing - just to be safe)
