Description Lothar Werzinger

IShellService.runCommand works not with every Shell. It fails with SSH.
I tested with RSE 1.0RC1.
I found that testing several connections for Bug 158786. 
( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=158786#c10 )

I don't know if this problem affects different Platform/OS, so I picked "All". Feel free to change that if necessary.

Can you provide some sample test code that exercises IShellService.runCommand -- a bit simpler than your code in bug 158786#c6 ?

It might help to look at 
org.eclipse.rse.examples.tutorial/samples.ui.actions/ShowJarContents.java
which works fine through ssh too 
(with examples installed, use UI action "Show Contents" on a jarfile)

test case

Copy the attached java file into the example plugin and add the following action to the plugin.xml

	<extension point="org.eclipse.rse.ui.popupMenus">
		<objectContribution id="actions.jar"
							typecategoryfilter="files"
							typefilter="file"
							namefilter="*.jar">
			<action id="actions.jar.show"
					enablesFor="1"
					label="Show contents (2)"
					tooltip="List contents of this file"
					class="samples.ui.actions.CopyOfShowJarContents">
			</action>
		</objectContribution>
	</extension>

depending on how you compile the java file (set the if to true or false) you get:

Ah, I see. Its marked as TODO in SshShellService.runCommand().
Should be easy to fix - surprising that it works ok with dstore.

Decreasing severity to NORMAL since there is a workaround (use launchShell() + writeToShell())

Fix ssh remote cmd invocation and environment variable setup according to API:
SshHostShell, SshShellService
