Problem With A Ruby Gem

[dangmoo]

I'm new to Ruby, and just installed the 'net-ssh' gem to simply interact with SSH servers, a function which I need.

The gem is properly located in its folder.

 

I was not sure how to 'include' the gem in my RUBY script as instructed using the line: $:.push("/home/dangmoo/ruby/gems"), so I simply pasted it to the beginning.

 

However, when I try to run a script using this gem, things don't work.

 

This is how the script looks like:

#!/usr/bin/ruby

$:.push("/home/dangmoo/ruby/gems")

require 'cgi'

 

cgi = CGI.new

puts cgi.header

puts "<h1>This is a test</h1>"

 

HOST = '1.2.3.4'

USER = 'root'

PASS = 'password'

Net::SSH.start( HOST, USER, :password => PASS ) do|ssh|

result = ssh.exec!('ls')

puts result

end

 

Although the script should simply return the output of the command 'ls' from my Linux SSH - it only output the HTML line 'This is a test' while the SSH part is totally ignored (without an error message).

 

Do you see anything wrong here?

Can you help me fix this?

 

Thanks!
