OK, after really long investigation i've found the reason why it hangs. Now i'm not sure either client or server is the reason of that. The following stuff is happening. When "close" is received by server, it closes pipes (stdout, ...) connected to the program and waits for program termination. When pipe closed from one side, other side will get SIGPIPE signal when attempting to write, but...before each write it waits for [interval] seconds so that's why it hangs for the same time. I'm talking about iostat, mpstat. I think it should be documented very clearly in libssh2 docs for further users. The same happens for "eof" request.
