Bug #73974 for Net-SSH-Perl: cmd("su ...")

Fri Jan 13 05:19:16 2012 rodrigo.olmos [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:	cmd("su ...")
Date:	Fri, 13 Jan 2012 11:18:37 +0100
To:	bug-Net-SSH-Perl [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Rodrigo Olmos <rodrigo.olmos [...] gmail.com>

I've searched the bug list and I didn't find anything related to this: With this module the following hangs: cmd("su - rodrigo") But this works: cmd("su - rodrigo -c 'commands'") Is it the normal behavior? I only had to run one command with user 'rodrigo', but others may want to start a shell as user 'rodrigo' and perform a lot of commands... Thanks

I would say: yes. The hang probably comes from the missing tty/STDIN for su. On my Debian it does not hang but 'su' complains su: must be run from a terminal in both cases. I'm cleaning tickets and close this as normal, it's no offense please simply reopen if you disagree. Thanks for reporting this.
