Using Net::SSH to login to shell and get stateful output

I was reading the documentation (which is pretty outdated). Net-ssh does not have .shell method anymore? how can i achieve signing into the shell, run command and get stdout until its done?

Can anyone point me to a good documentation or advice on how i can do it?

Thank you

Solution

  • Net::SSH has been updated a few days ago, and using the first example of the README on the first page of the project did exactly what you wanted to do :

    require 'net/ssh'

Net::SSH.start('my_server', 'my_user') do |ssh|
  output = ssh.exec!("ls")
  puts output
end
