Any workarounds for SSH hang issue?

[Ervin Yan]

Hi, 

 

Recently, I got some problems that my program is very easy to hang when
call ssh commands in a forked process on unix platforms.

 

And I understand that it maybe a tricky issue for ssh according to the
following FAQs:

http://www.snailbook.com/faq/background-jobs.auto.html

http://www.openssh.org/faq.html#3.10

 

My question is:  do we have any workarounds so that ssh do not hang
there.  We do not care the data loss cases.

 

I would really appreciate if you could give me some ideas to solve this
issue.

 

Thanks,

Ervin.
