Description

Hi,

I'm running a command using execCommand method. Also I'm passing a onChannel ( clientChannel: ClientChannel) option as parameter to get client channel connection.

My issue is that I can't by any mean stop the command execution (simulating a CTRL-C during an execution).

I've tried:

clientChannel.close()
clientChannel.end()
clientChannel.write('\x03')
clientChannel.signal('INT')

To test this out, I run a command with execCommand then I close it, and after I check my running processes on my server it's still running there. I have to mannually kill them with kill {pid}.

What am I missing?

Research direction

Start by tracing execCommand and its onChannel callback, focusing on the ClientChannel methods close(), end(), write(), and signal() described in the report. Reproduce the command execution and process check on the server; done means stopping the channel also stops the remote command process.
