Hi, I am using Net::SSH v2 I want to execute a command when the first one is complete. But I can’t make it working. Here is my code: Net::SSH.start( addr, user, :password =\> passwd) do |session| session.exec! (“service X restart”) session.exec!("") end The issue is that the second “session.exec!” is executed before service is restarted. I guess I am not doing the right way but I don’t know how to do it. Can someone help me,please? lyrics ---

Actually, my code is more like this: Net::SSH.start( addr, user, :password =\> passwd) do |session1| Net::SSH.start( addr2, user2, :password =\> passwd2) do |session2| session1.exec! (“service X restart;”) session2.exec! (“\”) session1.exec! (“\”) end end ---

If you need to do more advanced stuff - which it sounds like - “exec!” probably will not suffice as it is just a convenience method. Here is the Net::SSHv2 docs, they’re very helpful: [http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html](http://net-ssh.rubyforge.org/ssh/v2/api/index.html) What you are likely looking for is to use Net::SSH::Multi (maybe), build up an aggregated event loop, and then run it with the “loop” method. ---

Hm…I’m not an expert, but it seems to me in this case that it’d be easier actually just to code it that way. If your commands are short, you could always inline them with a {} style block instead of do/end, if you really want to cut down on your line count. 🙂 I guess for establishing the sessions, maybe it’s a little inefficient since you’re opening up four sessions instead of two, but sometimes you just have to DTSTTCPW. 😛 ---

Basically, I just want to manage 2 PCs. “sending command to PC1 wait until command finished sending command to PC2 wait until command finished sending command to PC1 wait until command finished” I thought open both sessions at the same time was a convenient way to open them only once. ---

I may try this, but I want to avoid since this code is executed more than 200 times. ---

(obviously it does not work if your a building your program logic on the fly …but you can also create your script on your box, scp to the target box and then execute it) …just another view -r. ---

I did more test. I found out that I was working on the wrong issue: the “exec!” command do it job well. I think my issue comes from restarting a service. It likes it takes times before really “up” whereas the command returns.
