Re: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] non-blocking command execution

[Mark F. <mar...@ea...>]

I think you'd have to do is fork a child for each and manage a pipe. You'd
have to manage your own read from the pipe, timeout, move to the next one,
etc. You should look at the Expect.pm module. It will do all this for you,
acting directly against the ssh binary (or an ssh-perl script that you
write). It creates pipes from the child to your controlling process. You can
have multiple processes that you are controlling at one time. If you need a
quick start, search the archives. I posted an example of using Expect.pm 3-4
months ago.
