Hello, I've been trying to run some commands on remote machine over ssh as a cron job. It works fine if I manually run it on command line but it does not run right if I run it as a cron job. I get 0 exit status which is strange. I found "debug2: channel 0: read failed" message when I ran it with -vvv options. I tried both ssh1 with rsa1 key and ssh2 with rsa key. Here are 2 output from the ssh. #### FAILED #### ( Ran as a cron job) ... ... debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug3: ssh_session2_open: channel_new: 0 debug2: channel 0: send open debug1: Entering interactive session. debug2: callback start debug2: client_session2_setup: id 0 debug1: Sending command: rm -v /home/test/testfile.txt debug2: channel 0: request exec confirm 0 debug2: callback done debug2: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 0 rmax 32768 debug2: channel 0: rcvd adjust 131072 debug2: channel 0: read<=0 rfd 4 len 0 debug2: channel 0: read failed debug2: channel 0: close_read debug2: channel 0: input open -> drain debug2: channel 0: ibuf empty debug2: channel 0: send eof debug2: channel 0: input drain -> closed debug2: channel 0: rcvd eof debug2: channel 0: output open -> drain debug2: channel 0: obuf empty debug2: channel 0: close_write debug2: channel 0: output drain -> closed debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-status reply 0 debug2: channel 0: rcvd close debug3: channel 0: will not send data after close debug2: channel 0: almost dead debug2: channel 0: gc: notify user debug2: channel 0: gc: user detached debug2: channel 0: send close debug2: channel 0: is dead debug2: channel 0: garbage collecting debug1: channel 0: free: client-session, nchannels 1 debug3: channel 0: status: The following connections are open: #0 client-session (t4 r0 i3/0 o3/0 fd -1/-1 cfd -1) debug3: channel 0: close_fds r -1 w -1 e 6 c -1 debug1: fd 0 clearing O_NONBLOCK debug1: fd 1 clearing O_NONBLOCK debug3: fd 2 is not O_NONBLOCK debug1: Transferred: stdin 0, stdout 0, stderr 0 bytes in 0.2 seconds debug1: Bytes per second: stdin 0.0, stdout 0.0, stderr 0.0 debug1: Exit status 0
