After asking my question on several forum and search on Google, nothing good.
I have read something interesting about someone who want to use SSH as a coprocess and who fail with this:
girtby.net - The Other Kind of Reentrant
Finally, I think it's not possible to do by this way, because of SSH. After all I have read, SSH seem to be very boring to use in a script.
Like I want to communicate with network equipment like Cisco router, it's not possible tu use the system of public/private key so not possible to avoid the password prompt when I open the SSH sesssion.(Something is possible with
expect but if I can not use this it's better)
I want to do massive deploy of configuration on network equipment, about hundred, with Telnet it's ok but with SSH I don't know how I will do?
Idea? :)

This is probably a simple one for the wise.
I have just started using a coprocess (first time) in order to facilitate telnet'ing from inside a shell script. It's working, but when I run a remote command I need to get the output into a local variable, but alas my kung-fu is weak.

SSH-ARGV0(1) BSD General Commands Manual SSH-ARGV0(1)
NAME
ssh-argv0 -- replaces the old ssh command-name as hostname handling
SYNOPSIS

[-m mac_spec] [-o option] [-p port] [-F configfile] [-L port:host:hostport] [-R port:host:hostport] [-D port] [command]
