Sending commands to server via JSch shell channel

Question

I can\'t figure it out how I can send commands via JSch shell channel.

I do this, but it doesn\'t work:

JSch shell = new JSch();
String command = \"c

I realize that this is an old thread, but I have struggled with a similar problem today. This is my solution.

public class ChannelConsole {

// ================================================
// static fields
// ================================================

// ================================================
// instance fields
// ================================================

private Session session;

// ================================================
// constructors
// ================================================

public ChannelConsole(Session session) {
    this.session = session;
}

// ================================================
// getters and setters
// ================================================

// ================================================
// public methods
// ================================================

public String execute(String command) throws JSchException {
    command = command.trim() + "\n";

    ChannelExec channel = (ChannelExec) this.session.openChannel("exec");
    channel.setCommand(command);

    ByteArrayOutputStream responseStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    channel.setOutputStream(responseStream);

    channel.connect();

    try {
        awaitChannelClosure(channel);
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        // no one cares
    }

    String result = responseStream.toString();
    closeQuietly(responseStream);
    return result;

}

// ================================================
// private methods
// ================================================

private void awaitChannelClosure(ChannelExec channel) throws InterruptedException {
    while (channel.isConnected()) {
        Thread.sleep(100);
    }
}

private static void closeQuietly(Closeable closeable) {
    if (closeable == null) {
        return;
    }

    try {
        closeable.close();
    } catch (IOException ignored) {
        ignored.printStackTrace();
    }
}

}

Using this class you can just do something like : shell = new ChannelConsole(this.session); String result = shell.execute("quota -v; echo; echo \"Disk storage information:\"; df -hk")
