Subject: Re: net/ssh question

I solved my problems. I hadn't paid attention to the
Net::SSH::Service::Shell module which allows me to do almost exactly
what I want. I still need to distinguish a timeout from  a user action
which did not result in anything sent to stdout. Maybe I'll just use
the SyncShell service, encapsulate a shell in a thread and have another
thread watch what's going on with the first one. But I don't know if
this can be done in ruby.
