facing problem with running interactive shell using paramiko

[saswatidas437]

I have written below code to run 3 command in remote server interactively

But when i checked 3rd command never executed and code stuck here is my code

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

def execute(): ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) ssh.connect('ipaddress',username='user', password='pw')   chan=ssh.invoke_shell()    # start the shell before sending commands   chan.send('cd /path to folder/test') chan.send('\n') time.sleep(3)     chan.send("ls -l") chan.send('\n') buff='' while not buff.endswith(">"):         resp = chan.recv(9999)        # code stuck here after 'path to folder/test >' comes in shell prompt         buff+=resp         print resp   print "test" chan.send("ls -lh") chan.send('\n') time.sleep(5) buff='' while not buff.endswith(">"):     resp = chan.recv(9999)     buff+=resp     print resp           if __name__ == "__main__":     execute()

When i ran i got output of ls -l but ls -lh never executed my code stuck in first while loop. Anyone please help to resolve my issue

Put a couple of print statements to print resp and buff.
In addition, put the while loop code in a try except loop that way you'll capture any errors.

If you can set a timeout, that may help, as it may give you a timeout message
(hopefully something more verbose than ... timed out)
