Re^2: Problems with Net::OpenSSH

[aeaton1843]

Thank you to all especially Salva and the anonymous monk. After I read the comments here again, I went back and did some work. The following code works perfectly! Does anyone know whether or not Net::OpenSSH is ithread safe?

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::OpenSSH;
use Expect;
$| = 1;


my $username = '';
my $password = '';
my $enable = '';
my $ip = '10.105.0.62';

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new("$username:$password\@$ip", timeout => 30)
+;
$ssh->error and die "unable to connect to remote host: ". $ssh->error;

my ($pty, $pid) = $ssh->open2pty("show ip arp")
      or die "unable to run remote command show ip arp";
my $expect = Expect->init($pty);


$expect->raw_pty(1);
#$expect->debug(2);
my $debug and $expect->log_stdout(1);

while(<$pty>) {
    print "$. $_"
}

But your router seems to support commands from SSH without dropping you to the shell. You probably don't need to use Expect at all:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::OpenSSH;
$| = 1;


my $username = '';
my $password = '';
my $enable = '';
my $ip = '10.105.0.62';

my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new("$username:$password\@$ip", timeout => 30)
+;
$ssh->error and die "unable to connect to remote host: ". $ssh->error;

my $out = $ssh->pipe_out("show ip arp")
      or die "unable to run remote command show ip arp";

while(<$out>) {
    print "$. $_"
}
