Subject: Store shell session/cmd.exe session in some object?

I'd like to do something like:

mysession = SystemShell.new		//Would I open a pipe? Would it be a IO.new?
dir_list = mysession.puts( "ls -al" ) //on Linux
dir_list = mysession.puts( "dir" ) 	//on Windows

and then further more do this:

mysession.puts( "ssh -l myname 127.0.0.1" )
mysession.puts( "cd /opt/webstar/etc/etc/" )
list = mysession.puts( "ls -al" )

And so on. Does this make sense. Basically I am looking to be able to keep a
session open with the system and receive it's output. This would prove
beneficial in the case that I ssh into several server and gather data from
each server in my script. Any ideas?

Thanks,


Zach
