Re: [Fab-user] Not having much luck with your initial examples.

[Nick Timkovich]

For the `fab` tool to pick up functions in your fabfile module/package as tasks, you need to decorate them with address@hidden decorator (specifically fabric.task). See http://docs.fabfile.org/en/2.4/getting-started.html#addendum-the-fab-command-line-tool  What documentation are you following? It sounds fairly incomplete and could be fixed.

No idea what 'uptime' is!

No idea what 'welcome' is!
