Commented Issue: Support for running continuous commands and returning the results as the occur (ex: “tail –f”) [666]

I would like the ability to run a command that is continuous on the unix side (requiring a cancel to end) and be able to see the results of said command as it occurs C# side. An example of this is tailing an active log file. The user would select a log file to tail, the SSH would connect to the unix server and send "tail -f [somelogfile]" and the results will stream in live into a container (in my case, a RichTextBox). When the user was done, or if they wanted to tail a different log file, the unix would properly cancel/kill that command and disconnect from the session (as to not leave active sessions open) and the process would repeat.
 
Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Oleg,

pretty old thread, but it came up for me now...

Initially it did not work for me properly.. e.g. 'sleep 1'. Then I changed the SshCommand a bit, to send a PTY allocation request. Then it was fine.

However when I called a more complex script, it behaved exactly the opposite. It was fine with PTY allocation, the CancelAsync was hanging, without PTY allocation it looks fine now.

I don't really know what is behind. :(

Cheers,
Gabor
