james_culling has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am getting the below error "SSHProcessError The ssh process was terminated." when I am trying to reboot the ap using the $ssh2->exec("/system/reboot force"); please help. 

my $host = "X.X.X.X";
    my $usr = "root";
    my $pas = "root";
      
    my $ssh1 = Net::SSH::Expect->new (
        host =>  $host,
        password=> $pas,
        user => $usr,
        raw_pty => 1,
        timeout => 20
    );
    my $login_output = $ssh1->login();
    if ($login_output !~ /#/) {
        print "Debug: login failed ";
        $ssh1->close();
    }
    else {       
        $ssh1->cmd("/system/reboot force");
        $ssh1->close();
        return 0;

    Isn't that expected?

    If you reboot the machine, any SSH connection open will be terminated, including the connection launching the reboot!

    Maybe you should push the command into the background (trailing '&' on the command, or whatever the remote system requires), so you can get back a prompt and close as you intend? Just a thought.

    Hope that helps.

      you should push the command into the background

      Maybe, I'm confused here - how will pushing commands to background help when OP does a force reboot?

        Hi All, I think Ericsson device won't support running the command in background. I tried to run the command in background, but its not rebooting.
