Fabric 1.x changed a few pty related settings -- check
docs.fabfile.org for the available settings and try tweaking them a
bit. Specifically, I'd start by setting pty=False (so, run("command",
pty=False)) as that was the default behavior in Fabric 0.9.x.
Otherwise, the ability for things to be backgrounded did not change in
1.x, so any tactic you used in 0.9 to keep something alive without
making the SSH connection sit around waiting for a shell to terminate,
should still be possible in 1.x with the right combination of
settings.
Best,
Jeff
