Hello friends,
I am using jsch to execute remote commands from my web application. One of such commands is /bin/su Since "/bin/su root /bin/sh -c id " requires a terminal for execution to succeed, i have set the ((ChannelExec)channel).setPty(true) for this. This works fine most of the times on the host, but at some instances this command hangs. The ps output show that above command is still running on the remote host root 2139 2138 0 15:42 pts/3 00:00:00 /bin/su root /bin/sh -c id I also see the pseudo terminal pts/3 allocated under /dev/pts/3. The only problem i see here is when su prompts for the password, it is not getting the password pumped in the pseudo terminal allocated in time by the sshd daemon on the target host. strace of this process shows it waiting at the read system call. [root@host1~]# //usr/bin/strace -p 3932 Process 3932 attached - interrupt to quit read(0, What are the possible reasons that it could happen like network latency. Will changing the baud rate of the terminal help ? Please suggest some workaround to prevent this hang thanks, Prakash ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
