Send Commands and Receive Response

If you try to run two policies containing SSH objects at the same time, then unexpected errors can occur. For example, the first policy can send commands in the SSH session created by the second policy. These errors occur because a class which handles the SSH connection is static.

This Automation Manager object sends specified command to the device and wait for the defined excepted output. Use Open Session object before using this object.
