If you want the process exit status, you have to forgo the ssh.exec!()
convenience method and work at a lower level. Here's how to do it:
ssh.open_channel do |channel|
channel.exec(command) do |ch, success|
unless success
abort "FAILED: couldn't execute command (ssh.channel.exec
failure)"
end
channel.on_data do |ch, data| # stdout
print data
end
channel.on_extended_data do |ch, type, data|
next unless type == 1 # only handle stderr
$stderr.print data
end
channel.on_request("exit-status") do |ch, data|
exit_code = data.read_long
if exit_code > 0
puts "ERROR: exit code #{exit_code}"
else
puts "success"
end
end
channel.on_request("exit-signal") do |ch, data|
puts "SIGNAL: #{data.read_long}"
end
end
end
ssh.loop
