Feature request: new option "executeCommand" about pony-ssh HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @Eichhorst.

What kind of commands are you thinking of executing? Something that sets up stuff and exits quickly (eg: a .profile-like command), or something that runs continuously while Pony SSH is connected to the host?

I want to understand the use-case before designing new features.

Hi Tom. Apologies for the slow response.

I've been thinking about how best to implement this. Pony-ssh uses ssh exec multiple times when setting up a session, so calling sudo -i once on connection won't do the trick.

I've prepared a new update which allows you to specify a custom shell command; which will allow you to call sudo automatically with a config like this:

 "ponyssh.hosts": {
    "example-sudo": {
       "host": "example.com",
       "username": "my-login",
       "agent": true,
       "shell": "sudo sh -c"
    }
  }

With the above setup, pony-ssh would allow you to edit any files that you can via sudo - though it does require that your user can sudo without using a password on the remote host.

Before I roll this out and turn it into a new version, I wanted to check in with you if this sounds like it could solve your problem.

I've just released an update to Pony-SSH which will hopefully meet your needs. try adding the following to your configuration:
"shell": "sudo bash -c"

Don't use the -i parameter; it will kick off an interactive shell, which won't work with pony-ssh. :)

Hope this helps you out. Let me know if you run into trouble.
