Respected Monks,

Thanks for your replies which I have recieved from and have helped me a lot to solve my problems and could also learn a lot through this site and from the well experienced monks.

Right now I am facing a problem with the error management of NET::SSH2 module. When I give a correct command say "hostname" i get the perfect output, but by mistake I gave it as "hostnam" and executed the program. It did not print any error status some thing when using Net::Telnet it also showed me the error by returning it but here i could not see any error its just blank.

Actually I have used threading and tried to connect to multiple systems using NET:SSH2 and executing commands on the remote systems for which I have written a subroutine. But when I have given a wrong command by mistake it did not prompt any error message.

Here is the part of my script where i implemented NET::SSH2 .

$filepath = "host.conf";

$counter=0;
if(open(FILE,$filepath))
{

$inputline=<FILE>;

        while($inputline ne "")
        {
        chop($inputline);
                if($inputline !~ /#/)
                {
                if( @array = split(/:/,$inputline) )
                {
                        #print @array;
                        $host = $array[1];
                        $user = $array[2];
                        $pass = $array[3];
                        push @threads, threads->create(\&sshcon, $host
+, $user, $pass);

                } #if2
                } #if1
                $inputline=<FILE>;
        } #while
        while( my $thread = shift @threads )
        {
                $thread->join();
                print " Thread $counter exiting \n";
                $counter++;
        }
}
else
{
        die " File doesn't exists "
}

sub sshcon
{

my($h,$u,$p)=(shift,shift,shift);

print " Host Info : $h,$u,$p \n";
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
#$ssh2->debug(1);
$ssh2->connect($h) or die " Cannot connect to $h ";

print "Connected to host $h \n";

die "can't authenticate" unless $ssh2->auth(username => $u,password=>$
+p); # ,interact=>1);
#print "Username/Password is correct\n";

$chan2 = $ssh2->channel;
#print " Channel opened successfully \n";


die "Can't create a shell on channel " unless $chan2->shell;

die " Cannot set blocking field " unless $chan2->blocking(0);

print $chan2 "hostname \n";
print "Error --> " , $chan2->error() , "\n" ;
print "LINE : $_" while <$chan2>;

print $chan2 "who \n";
print "LINE : $_" while <$chan2>;
$ssh2->disconnect();

}

Here I got the perfect output for "hostname" . but since I gave a wrong command I didnot get any error message displaying "Command not found".

The NET::SSH2 module will it not catch up what ever error generated.

OUTPUT

Connected to host 192.168.1.92
Error --> 0

Only the Hostname is being displayed and no information about the "who" command.

Thanks
