Subject: Re: net-ssh and remote shell

Your code example works with net-shh 1.1.2 but not 2.0.3

For this sort of thing I prefer to use the .exec method and store all
output in an array:

require 'rubygems'
require 'needle'
require 'net/ssh'
  session=Net::SSH.start("localhost",
"90kts", :password=>"**************")
  cmd = 'ls -lart'
  out = []
  out = session.exec!(cmd).split(/\n/)
  puts out

Hope that helps =)
