Hi Chris...

I am having the same exactly problem with the sshexec, the same script
sometimes works, sometimes it gives me "Remote command failed with exit
status -1"  , I was wondering if you have found the reason for this and a
possible solution ?

this is driving me crazy since I can't find the exactly (valid) reason , so
i can talk with my manager about it..

thanks in advance

ken
