>From the ssh(1) man page:
-t Force pseudo-tty allocation. This can be used to execute arbi
trary screen-based programs on a remote machine, which can be
very useful, e.g., when implementing menu services.
This is similiar to what I am trying to do, use "-t" flag to ssh from
my
application, however it just didn't seem to work.
>From the ssh.c source:
/* Do not allocate a tty if stdin is not a tty. */
if (!isatty(fileno(stdin))) {
if (tty_flag)
fprintf(stderr, "Pseudo-terminal will not be
allocated because stdin is not a terminal.\n");
tty_flag = 0;
}
This seems like it doesn't allocate a pseudo-tty no matter what the command
line option set the tty_flag to, since it only check for isatty().
Could someone explain this to me if I am wrong, but does changing "if
(tty_flag)" to "if (!(tty_flag))" seems to work...
Please take a look at the attached patch and Cc: me on the reply.
