Re: Net::OpenSSH across fork & exec

I have added the feature to reuse an external OpenSSH master connection to the latest development version (1.51_05):

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host,
                            reuse_master => 1,
                            ctl_path => $from_first_script);
[download]

Though, I don't really like calling the new option "reuse_master", I am thinking of changing it to "external_master".

Thanks for such quick reply. I have removed my previous suggestion, since it appears that you have already did that. :) Regards, Alex.	[reply]

yes, now, it works as follows: `#!perl -w use Net::OpenSSH; my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new("hostname"); if (my $pid = fork) { # wait for children, do something } elsif ($pid == 0) { exec "another_perl_script", $ssh->get_ctl_path; } __END__ another_perl_script: #!perl -w use Net::OpenSSH; my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host_or_some_dummy_value, ctl_path => $ARGV[0], reuse_master => 1); $ssh->system("remote command");` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
