Re: Net::SSH2 Command Timeout Before Completion

If you have a recent version of OpenSSH installed on the machine where you want to run the script, try Net::OpenSSH:

use Net::OpenSSH;

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new('root@192.168.123.5');
$ssh->error and die "unable to connect to remote host: ". $ssh->error;

my $fh = $ssh->pipe_out("/sbin/service", "syslog", "restart")
  or die "command failed: " . $ssh->error;
print while <$fh>;
close $fh or die "command failed: $?";

Another one I will look at. OpenSSH is my client/server of choice.	[reply]

Another one I will look at. OpenSSH is my client/server of choice. For what it's worth, Net::SSH::Expect lets you choose what ssh binary to use, so if you have openssh installed separately, it can be told to use that. Not trying to be a fanboy, just letting you know.	[reply]

I appreciate the information. What I gathered from testing both is that Net::SSH2 is not the best solution. Both of your examples worked the way I wanted.	[reply]
