how to pass command line argument in fabric

I am new in fabric. I am trying to pass two command after the function of fabfile.py I am trying like that

fab fabfile.py taskA /idep/etl/config.xml , lbs

Here taskA is a function.

But it is not working. It throws error like "No such file or directory: 'taskA'". How can I pass the arguments? Actually I'm trying to forwarding port to remote machine.

This is documented here. After you setup the task to take arguments, you would then do something akin to this:

fab taskA:'/idep/etl/config.xml,lbs'

note: if you are using a fabfile named fabfile.py the fab command assumes this, and does not need the extra specification (which you also did w/o using the -f flag)

also note: you can specify hosts to act on, via the cli, with the -H --hosts flags

To get a better handle on these sorts of things you really should go through the tutorial.
