.NET SSH pbrun su

Question

I'm connecting to a linux server from my .net application using SSH.NET. Each command that I execute completes as expected with the exception of pbrun su - myaccount.

While debugging, when the pbrun su - myaccount command is executed, the arrow in the debugger disappears and control is never returned to visual studio, thus requiring me to manually stop debugging the application.

Answer 1

If the problem is that pbrun is asking for something in stdin (password, reason, etc) you can create a shell with streams controled by you and write in it.

Simple example:

using System;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var connectionInfo = new Renci.SshNet.PasswordConnectionInfo("ancardia.us.to", "adom", "adom");
            var ssh = new Renci.SshNet.SshClient(connectionInfo);

            ssh.Connect();

           var shell = ssh.CreateShell(Console.OpenStandardInput(), Console.OpenStandardOutput(), Console.OpenStandardOutput());
           shell.Start();

       while (true) {
            Console.Read();
            }

        }


    }
}
