Here's an example of something i already have. You should be able to modify quite easily to suit your needs. Some key points: 1. always use read() and write() in pairs. 2. you'll have to change the "nameofprompt" to a proper regular expression. should be pretty straight forward. 3. If you get the following message from phpseclib: "Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /var/www/phpseclib/Net/SSH2.php on line 1907" you will need to implement a little fix with their code. Let me know if you need and I will forward along. If i have some time later on, i'll write up some sample code for you using the specs you outlined below and post back. hope that helps. j <?php // sample code to demo how to use phpseclib to create an interactive ssh session. set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '../phpseclib'); include('Net/SSH2.php'); //define('NET_SSH2_LOGGING', true); //turn on logging. //define('NET_SSH2_LOGGING', 'NET_SSH2_LOG_COMPLEX'); $ssh = new Net_SSH2('10.10.10.10'); //starting the ssh connection to localhost if (!$ssh->login('id', '123')) { //if you can't log on... exit('Login Failed'); } else { echo 'logged in<br>'; } $output= $ssh->write("\n"); //press any key to continue prompt; $prompt=$ssh->read('/(nameofprompt#\s*)/i', NET_SSH2_READ_REGEX); $output = $ssh->write("no page\n"); $prompt=$ssh->read('/(nameofprompt#\s*)/i', NET_SSH2_READ_REGEX); $output = $ssh->write("show interfaces brief\n"); if ($output) { $output=$ssh->read('/(nameofprompt#\s*)/i', NET_SSH2_READ_REGEX); echo $output; } On Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 10:26 AM, Marc <marc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/index.html > > Here you can find some examples and from the looks off it maybe it can be > implementated with racktables. > > On 8/28/12 3:50 PM, Denis Ovsienko wrote: > > 28.08.2012, 17:37, "J Lee" <juleedev@xxxxxxxxx> <juleedev@xxxxxxxxx>: > > hey there.
