SharpSSH - SSHExec, run command, and wait 5 seconds for data!

Question

I have this code:

using System;
using System.Text;
using Tamir.SharpSsh;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SshExec exec = new SshExec("192.168.0.1", "admin", "haha");
            exec.Connect();
            string output = exec.RunCommand("interface wireless scan wlan1 duration=5");
            Console.WriteLine(output);
            exec.Close();
        }
    }
}

The command will execute! I can see that, but! It immediately prints data. Or actually, it does'nt print the data from the command. It prints like the... logo for the mikrotik os. I actually need the data from the command, and I need SharpSSH to wait at least 5 seconds for data, then give it back to me... Somebody knows how I can do this?

I'm pretty new to this! I appreciate all help! Thank you!

Answer 1

You may want to try the following overload:

SshExec exec = new SshExec("192.168.0.1", "admin", "haha");
exec.Connect();
string stdOut = null;
string stdError = null;
exec.RunCommand("interface wireless scan wlan1 duration=5", ref stdOut, ref stdError);

Console.WriteLine(stdOut);
exec.Close();

If their API does what the name implies, it should put the standard output of your command in stdOut and the standard error in stdError.
