Hi Dan,

I need to execute commands for start up network services and reload
configuration files, so I think the SFTP commands will not suffice.

doesn't libcurl supports a conventional ssh command invocation ?

If no, do you recommend some other library for invoke ordinary remote
operations ?

Thanks,
Sandro
