Subject: Re: using net::ssh shell to sudo to another user and execute commands

Just tested this mini-script on Windows, and it works.

require 'net/ssh'

Net::SSH.start('yourhost.com', :port => 22, :username => 'youruser',
:password => 'yourpassword') do |session|
	shell = session.shell.sync
	puts "connected"
	puts "ls"
	shell.send_command "echo 'yourpassword' | sudo -S ls"
	puts 'Exiting'
	shell.exit
	puts "Exited"
end

Hope this works for you, btw, I couldn't make it work by sending the
text as parameter to send_command :(, at least you can make it work
some way.
