in reply to Net::SSH::Perl and Stratus (VOS)

Probably not helpful but you are getting a second (albeit blank) line.

FWIW you are supressing the shell in your login by passing the 3rd true param. This would seem at odds with the interactive=>1 in your new. The default for interactive is 0 - perhaps it behaves approptiately if you remove that?

As a sanity check printing $cmd before you exec it would make sense just in case it is not what you think.

    The blank line is because the command returns one new line, and I am explicitly printing a newline in perl print command. I was pretty sure I had tried just about every combination of params just in case there was something goofy, but I double checked and tried it both with interactive 1 and not suppressing the shell, and interactive off and supressing the shell to no avail. I did find some insight on how to sort of run a trace on the Stratus command, and it appears to actually be running running multiple commands behind the scenes. I am pretty sure that is the issue. Thanks for your feedback! B

      it appears to actually be running running multiple commands behind the scenes. I am pretty sure that is the issue.

      An extremely ugly hack springs to mind 

      (undef,$stderr,$exit) = $ssh->cmd("command --opts > tmp.txt");
($stdout) = $ssh->cmd("cat tmp.txt");

or 

($stdout) = $ssh->cmd("command --opts > tmp.txt && cat tmp.txt");

      Running this command with nohup might be worth trying as well. You may find Net::SSH2 works better.
