Am trying to run the a command on remote host using Net::SSH::Perl, which fails to return back any status. My script hangs up there. I have enabled debug logs a part of it is as follows:
remote-host$ service netbackup start
local-host: channel 2: new client-session
local-host: Requesting channel_open for channel 2.
local-host: Entering interactive session.
local-host: Sending command: service netbackup start
local-host: Requesting service exec on channel 2.
local-host: channel 2: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768
local-host: input_channel_request: rtype exit-status reply 0


It did not go further from here

I could solve this problem using alarm, but wanted to check are there any other ways in Net::SSH::Perl that this can be handled?
