Subject: Re: net/ssh exec builtin command (cd)

From: Une Bévue [mailto:unbewusst.sein@weltanschauung.com.invalid] 
# when using ssh.exec!("ls -al") everything is ok however, if i 
# try to use
# "cd /path/to" (a shell builtin command) i get back :
# exec: 4: cd: not found
# on the device a "which cd" returns nothing.
# is there a workaround ?

show net/ssh version and code pls.

eg, i just run this,

Net::SSH.start( "10.2.10.1", "botp:)", :password=>"secret=)") do |session|
  puts session.exec! "cd /etc; ls -la"
end

outputs=>
