I'm having a problem with my ssh link to various Sun servers running Solaris 9 and 10 from an Windows XP box running Cygwin/X.
I am using ssh to connect to a number of different Sun servers. My problem is that when editing a remote shell command line with the arrow direction keys the session aborts or, if there are background X processes running such as 'gvim', locks up then exists immediately when the X program terminates.
I previously connected using 'rsh' which did not cause a problem but have had to move to ssh, I am using zsh both on cygwin and on the remote server.
The following is the command that I use to start the connection
About 90% of the time using the arrow keys do not cause a problem but every now and then the remote session seems to recieve an 'exit' signal causing the remote session to end. This can be caused by either a single arrow key press or by holding an arrow key down.
As mentioned before I did not have the problem when connecting via 'rsh' which points to 'ssh' being the cause of the problem.
Any ideas as to why this is happening would be appreciated

I recently needed to collect arrow keys (and function keys etc.) in a shell script so that I could run a text graphics-style data entry system (with text entry fields, drop-down list boxes, progress bars and the like). Yes you can do all this in shell, and portably too if you're careful.
I've... (4 Replies)

Would somebody advise how arrow keys could be binded in AIX v5.3?
I could not find reasonable information online related to AIX.

KNIFE-SSH(1) Chef Manual KNIFE-SSH(1)NAME
knife-ssh - Run a command or interactive session on multiple remote hosts
SYNOPSIS
knife ssh QUERY COMMAND (options)
-a, --attribute ATTR
The attribute to use for opening the connection - default is fqdn
-C, --concurrency NUM
The number of concurrent connections
-m, --manual-list
QUERY is a space separated list of servers
-P, --ssh-password PASSWORD
The ssh password
-x, --ssh-user USERNAME
The ssh username
-i, --identity-file IDENTITY_FILE
The SSH identity file used for authentication
-p, --ssh-port PORT
The ssh port
--[no-]host-key-verify
Verify host key, enabled by default.
DESCRIPTION
The ssh sub-command opens an ssh session to each of the nodes in the search results of the QUERY. This sub-command requires that the
net-ssh-multi and highline Ruby libraries are installed. On Debian systems, these are the libnet-ssh-multi-ruby and libhighline-ruby pack-
ages. They can also be installed as RubyGems (net-ssh-multi and highline, respectively).
TERMINAL MULTIPLEXING AND TERMINAL TAB SUPPORT
knife ssh integrates with several terminal multiplexer programs to provide a more convenient means of managing multiple ssh sessions. When
the COMMAND option matches one of these, knife ssh will create multiple interactive ssh sessions running locally in the terminal multi-
plexer instead of invoking the command on the remote host.
The available multiplexers are:
interactive
A built-in multiplexer. interactive supports running commands on a subset of the connected hosts in parallel
screen(1)
Runs ssh interactively inside screen. ~/.screenrc will be sourced if it exists.
tmux(1)
Runs ssh interactively inside tmux.
macterm (Mac OS X only)
Opens a Terminal.app window and creates a tab for each ssh session. You must install the rb-appscript gem before you can use this
option.
