in reply to Net::SSH::Perl failback connection

haven't used the ssh perl module myself, but i would avoid having to in the first place if possible, by having the script/command on the other side provide output via http, e.g. a CGI wrapper. then you avoid such nasty business as having root password in a script, which i wouldn't allow on any system i work on.
the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H

    There are too many of them and some are running apps that the vendor would stop supporting if we installed anything additional (telecoms) even Perl modules.

    Also time constraints and since at this time all I need to do is run a "ps -ef" on each box and process the output having a smart agent is overkill. It maybe something to think about at a future point.
