From 9c9704b6d2658bc6288aafeaeb8af9581f7fc053 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Deepak S Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 13:57:13 +0530 Subject: ssh.py: add flag to request for a pseudo terminal (pty) for ssh connection For some VNFs we may want to send periodic commands, for example to print statistics etc. When you open a SSH connection, request a pseudo terminal (pty) which allows passing of control characters to the connection.
