Re: libssh channel_request_exec timeout

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Konstantin,

The channel_request_exec call is blocking until we have the answer from
the ssh server, but usually that's quite fast. There is no wait for
completion of the command. In order to wait for the completion of the
command, you have to do channel_read which itself can be made
nonblocking (using channel_poll).
Unfortunately there is nothing as simple as channel_read_timeout as you
suggest, at least for the moment.

Regards,

Aris
