Hi Steve, Yes that would be an option. But then I need to put the username and password (alternativly ssh2_auth_hostbased_file). Hrm, will think about it for a while. I might try it out. My speed requirements aren't really restricted as it is run on a local network and no dense traffic. I will either use this or redirect STDERR to a file and read it from there.

You can use the ssh functions can ssh2_exec into yourself. You can get the error stream separately then... After the connection is open, it is basically as fast as exec. But there is a hit on connection. I wouldn't use this in webpage environment, but I do use it for CLI admin applications. I use it to run a stream of commands to many servers simultaneously.
