I'm attempting to use the TProcess unit to execute ssh to connect to one of my servers and provide me with the shell. It's a rewrite of one I had in Ruby as the execution time for Ruby is very slow. When I run my Process.Execute function, I am presented with the shell but it is immediately backgrounded. Running pgrep ssh
reveals that it is running but I have no access to it whatsoever, using fg
does not bring it back. The code is as follows for this segment:
if HasOption('c', 'connect') then begin
TempFile:= GetRecord(GetOptionValue('c', 'connect'));
AProcess:= TProcess.Create(nil);
AProcess.Executable:= '/usr/bin/ssh';
AProcess.Parameters.Add('-p');
AProcess.Parameters.Add(TempFile.Port);
AProcess.Parameters.Add('-ntt');
AProcess.Parameters.Add(TempFile.Username + '@' + TempFile.Address);
AProcess.Options:= [];
AProcess.ShowWindow:= swoShow;
AProcess.InheritHandles:= False;
AProcess.Execute;
AProcess.Free;
Terminate;
Exit;
end;
TempFile
is a variable of type TProfile
, which is a record containing information about the server. The cataloging system and retrieval works fine, but pulling up the shell does not.
