The service driver for the Shell service. It manages the creation of new Shell::Shell and Shell::SyncShell subservices.

Usage:

  Net::SSH.start( host ) do |session|
    shell = session.shell.open

    shell.cd "/home/foo"
    shell.mkdir "-p some/long/dir"
    shell.cd "some/long/dir"
    shell.touch "foo.txt"
    shell.exit

    session.loop
  end

Or:

  Net::SSH.start( host ) do |session|
    shell = session.shell.sync

    shell.cd "/home/foo"

    out = shell.test "-e some/file.txt"
    if out.status == 0
      out = shell.cat "some/file.txt"
      puts out.stdout
    else
      puts "no such file 'some/file.txt'"
    end

  end
