Sending a restart command to my firewall over SSH with VB.NET

Question

I'm trying to write a small program that will send a restart command to my firewall when a button is pressed or a condition is met.

Answer 1

Following code shows how to execute command via SSH on remote *nix server using Rebex SSH Shell component.

' create client, connect and log in  
Dim client As New Ssh
client.Connect(hostname)
client.Login(username, password)

' run the command to restart the firewall
Dim result As String = client.RunCommand("command-to-restart-firewall")

' display the output 
Console.WriteLine("Result: {0}", result)
