Net::SSH sudo command hangs after entering password

Question

I\'ve been trying to write a small library using Thor to help assist me in quick creating new projects and sites. I wrote this small method:

def ssh(cmd)
           


        

Answer 1

The first thing you might want to try is using public keys instead of passwords to login. Then also try running the command from the interactive shell.

For example:

(This part really depends on the server/client software you have)

$ ssh-keygen
$ scp .ssh/id-dsa.pub server:
$ ssh server
server$ cat id-dsa.pub >> .ssh/authorizedkeys

$ scp -c "ls"

this should work without any prompts, if the key sharing was successful.
