Use fopen instead of expect_popen.

.This way there are no zombie ssh processes left around (see https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=57918)

Hi there.
Using fopen() instead of expect_popen() seems to cause the script to be in a forever loop.
Any idea?

No, it works fine here. Do you have some code or logging to share?

Hello again! Thank you very much for replying me.

I wrote a simple code that only gathers the interface for a subscriber.
When using expect_popen() everything goes fine. The image bellow shows what happen in debug mode:

Now, when I execute the same script with fopen("expect://" here is what happen:

For some reason, I'm able to connect to the Junos device but I can't get any output. The script freezes itself as if it were in a forever loop waiting for something else...

There's no log regarding this issue in my php.log file.
I would like to use the fopen approach in order to avoid zombie process.

By the way, why the main code in this repository is still using expect_popen instead of fopen ?

Thanks again for any help!

I can not see anything strange in the given output. Maybe something with buffering on the stream?
Do you have example code I could try to run against a Juniper here?

I don't know why the code isn't merged yet. I haven't got any response on this pull request yet.

Hi arjanoosting ,

Please take a look at https://gist.github.com/chapeupreto/e993a905886c448a94a8

When using fopen(), the above script can connect to the device and issue the specified command. However, I noticed that, for some reason, it's unable to close the connection.

I ran it in cli mode and after executing the get-system-users-information RPC call, the prompt doesn't show itself back to the user anymore, as if the script is in a forever loop waiting for closing the connection made to the device.

When the same script is executed via browser I can't see any output (I see just a blank page) and the script keeps running and running...

Any help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,

[chapeupreto]
