The Plugin is working but supports only a single Ssh target host. I moved to "Ssh Tasker Plugin" which doesn't have this restriction.

Been using this for years to write Tasker variables to files on my server. One recent bug I've had though, is that even though commands run successfully, I get a notification saying that the app doesn't have Tasker permissions (3rd party accessibility is enabled in Tasker). Kinda just came out of nowhere.

The SSH_OUT variable displays the previous script output so I have to put sleep in. Don't see a way to have it wait to for the last one to finish. Other than that perfect.

It does the thing. It does have global configuration for the server but it`s ok with me!

Usable but useless for me since I need to connect to multiple machines and it uses a global config. Will switch back to connectbot.

Tried run a command while out and about using my dyndns address and a forwarded port. Would not let me connect although other SSH clients will.. Connects fine while within my network. Also needs multiple hosts to become really useful! Keep up the good work dev!

I was having a problem getting ConnectBot to reliably work with Tasker so I gave this a try. It worked perfectly the first time. It would be much more useful if it had a keygen utility and supported multiple hosts but for now it does the job I needed it to do.

Its good and works but need the configuration to not be global or at least to allow tasker variables to be used in the configuration.. do that and itll be a 5 star from me.. Dunno any you would have made something like this work this way..

This is a well put together plugin, unfortunately I can't see a way to authenticate with a keyfile and passphrase, which is what I need :(

There is a global configuration on the host your are connecting to, meaning you can only connect to 1 server. Lastly, I always get a plug in error when running tasks even thou the ssh command executes correctly. For now, I have disabled notifications for this app. Running CM11 on my d2spr

Desperately needs multiple server support.

But really needs multiple hosts. Also some variable integration would be nice. Edit: Variables should work, so I'll try that again.

Wow! The dev was so kind to listen and add a log of executed command result :D This means maybe I can pray to have multiple hosts for xmas? :)

This works and is easy to use but is limited to connecting to a single host. If you create a task to connect to a second IP address, it will change your existing tasks to the IP in your new task. I'm using this to control a raspberry pi for home automation. I just wish I could control more than one.

This plugin is very useful and easy to use. It helped me control the power of my samsung tv via the cec hdmi interface of my raspberry pi. Highly recommended! And the developer is very fast in regard to support.
