Yeah, I also thought about that. Hitting RET every couple of seconds
is what I do, after all.
But Stefan had an even better suggestion: just start up the shell with
its normal shell prompt, then wait for the shell prompt to appear. I
think that's the route I'm going to go through. Currently, you have
to use two different methods for ssh, depending on whether ssh
requires you to enter a password or not. But I think using the new
method, it would be fairly easy to just look whether there is a passwd
prompt and then act accordingly.
I don't think I'm going to support the asking-for-a-passwd feature of
scp, though.
