I'm attempting to use the pxssh to execute commands on a remote
machine and do stuff with the output. Both machines are running SSH
Version Sun_SSH_1.0, protocol versions 1.5/2.0 and Intel Solaris 9.
I am hitting a problem with read_nonblocking in the pexpect module as
follows:
>>> import pxssh
>>> s=pxssh.pxssh()
>>> s.login("myhost","root","mypass")
Trying command: ssh -q -l root gerard
Expect returned i=2
Expect returned i=1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pxssh.py", line 244, in login
if not self.synch_original_prompt():
File "pxssh.py", line 134, in synch_original_prompt
self.read_nonblocking(size=10000,timeout=10) # GAS: Clear out the
cache before getting the prompt
File "/opt/python2.5.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pexpect.py", line
824, in read_nonblocking
raise TIMEOUT ('Timeout exceeded in read_nonblocking().')
pexpect.TIMEOUT: Timeout exceeded in read_nonblocking().
Running the ssh command from the shell yields:
bash-2.05# ssh -q -l root myhost

I would be grateful if anyone could make a suggestion as to where I go
next? Is read_nonblocking(), the correct method to be using here?
Are there any options in pxssh I need to explore (I've tried ssh -t,
but this means the password entry fails with raise ExceptionPxssh
('password refused')).
Many thanks
Jon
