Monks,

Thanks for reading this and providing guidance.

I am attempting to use a CentOS server with Net:SSH2 module to connect and run commands via vshell (vandyke software) installed on the windows (win7 home premium) computer.

The purpose of this windows machine is to provide a “hop server” to a windows environment to run “psexec.exe” on the local server, gather the output and return to the perl script for crunching. I was using active state perl on the same windows box until I could not get alarms to work correctly. Besides, the permissions integrated with windows is a pain to setup after install.. Anyway.

I can connect to vshell and run “whoami”, “ver” and “dir c:\” without issue. The problem is when I run “psexec.exe” I only get half of the conversation.

However Running “ssh x.x.x.x” and running the command from the linux box to the vshell the command executes perfectly.
