linux - How to SSH into a server from a node.js application? -

var exec = require('child_process').exec;  exec('ssh my_ip',function(err,stdout,stderr){     console.log(err,stdout,stderr); }); 

this freezes - guess, because ssh my_ip asks password, interactive, etc. how correctly?

there's node.js module written perform tasks in ssh using node called ssh2 mscdex. can found here. example you're wanting (from readme) be:

var connection = require('ssh2');  var c = new connection(); c.on('connect', function() {   console.log('connection :: connect'); }); c.on('ready', function() {   console.log('connection :: ready');   c.exec('uptime', function(err, stream) {     if (err) throw err;     stream.on('data', function(data, extended) {       console.log((extended === 'stderr' ? 'stderr: ' : 'stdout: ')                   + data);     });     stream.on('end', function() {       console.log('stream :: eof');     });     stream.on('close', function() {       console.log('stream :: close');     });     stream.on('exit', function(code, signal) {       console.log('stream :: exit :: code: ' + code + ', signal: ' + signal);       c.end();     });   }); }); c.on('error', function(err) {   console.log('connection :: error :: ' + err); }); c.on('end', function() {   console.log('connection :: end'); }); c.on('close', function(had_error) {   console.log('connection :: close'); }); c.connect({   host: '192.168.100.100',   port: 22,   username: 'frylock',   privatekey: require('fs').readfilesync('/here/is/my/key') });
