ssh2 automated script

[Coldburn]

I'm trying to make a script to automate some mundane tasks that involve connecting to a terminal server via ssh and navigating a menu and interacting with some prompts.

I can get connected to the box and execute commands but cant figure out how to report back the results or even wait for a prompt to return. How is this done?

I'm using the ssh2 class presented at php.net -> [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-connect.php]http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.ssh2-connect.php[/url]

I'm using php 5.1.4 stand-alone, not with a web server.

Thanks!
