Description

Hi,

I was trying this package to execute command on remote linux server. It is working as per my expectations. All i want to know , how to stop the execution and disconnect ssh connection on demand. I am using below code to get the system stats.

var exec = require('ssh-exec') var v_host = 'XX.XX.XX.XXX' exec('vmstat 1 300', { user: 'root', host: 'XX.XX.XX.XXX', password: 'password' }).pipe(process.stdout , function (err, data) { if ( err ) { console.log(v_host); console.log(err); } console.log(data) })

Please suggest.

Research direction

Begin at the shown exec('vmstat 1 300', ...) call and inspect how its returned stream is controlled. Confirm whether the package exposes a stop or disconnect entry point; done means a documented, reproducible way to terminate the command and SSH connection on demand.
