Hi Oliver,
that seems to work, thanks a lot for your help!
By the way I figured out that ssh_channel_send_eof() instead of
ssh_channel_close() also works.

The function is quite flakey, because of issue in the way the close
flag is handled internally. I had to do two things:
1. call ssh_channel_close() before you call
ssh_channel_get_exit_status()
2. put ssh_channel_get_exit_status() in a loop and wait for the
result to be not -1. I am waiting 20 times 50ms.
This have been very reliable in using it with dozens, maybe even
hundreds or thousands of machines in the past few months.
As a side note, you might also run into this problem with buggy SSH
daemons. There was apparently a dropbear version, that didn't always
send the exit status.
Hi,
I tried to run a command on a remote host via "ssh_channel_request_exec"
and get the the exit code back. My problem is that
"ssh_channel_get_exit_status" returns always -1.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas
