#22946 [NEW]: exec() or system() or passthru() hang when using openssh 3.4

From: massimo at tuxel dot com Operating system: SuSE Linux 8.1 PHP version: 4.3.1 PHP Bug Type: Program Execution Bug description: exec() or system() or passthru() hang when using openssh 3.4 Using ssh through the various exec functions usually hangs php execution. Very strange that: exec('/usr/bin/scp foo@bar.com:/what/ever/file .') works fine, while exec('/usr/bin/ssh foo@bar.com /what/ever/execfile'), where "execfile" is any executable file, makes the execution of the php script hang. Any help/reproduction/confirmation of this very appreciated. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22946&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=22946&r=gnused
