That does not work. If you want to prematurely terminate a process on a UNIX-like system you have to send it a SIGTERM or SIGKILL signal. There is an OpenSSH extension to send signals via SSH but it has not been standardized. This means that it may work on some servers but will not work on all. libssh2 does not implement support for the OpenSSH extension. Feel free to implement that and try it with your application. After sending the signal to the remote process you should see it exit on the remote side. Then you need to read all stdout and stderr data, and finally you can close the channel. > BTW, I also read stderr after stdout. The situation is the same. If the remote process is still running you will not be able to close the channel. You must know when the remote process has terminated by communicating with it through the channel. SSH is a communications protocol, not really a remote process management protocol. //Peter _______________________________________________ libssh2-devel http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libssh2-devel
