Could use a UI update, but functionally it does exactly what it says it can do. Send an SSH command as a single action/button

This was a simple and effective solution to my need for an easier way to start and stop an audio stream from my server. I wasn't sure this would work given the "immediate return" requirement - I am using a program that outputs audio until you control-c - but I was able to quickly create one button that runs a nohup [name] command and a second that runs a kill all [name].

This app works perfectly. I use it to send wake on lan commands to a Raspberry Pi and wake my PC. I would love it more if I could get tasker to work with this app.

I actually really like the app. Although I would prefer a more terminal based ASCII layout for the buttons, and also custom status string based on return code. So exit 1 can have custom string "Server failed to start." and exit 0 would output custom string "Server started successfully." for example. Instead of "Response code 1/0" which is too vague for a Remote SSH Terminal button, in my opinion. Also, it would be good to have a timestamp postfix on status response output and auto interval timer

I expected the command result to be displayed on my phone, but it only displays OK (time). Maybe it's because of the "Permission denied to local storage" notification when starting this app? But it should give you the option to grant such permission. The command I run is: "tail -50 /storage/folder/*". On my old phone I used the Remote Executer app which returned the result of this command, but unfortunately it is no longer being developed, and I can't install it on my new phone.

Unfortunately it looks like SSH authentication doesn't work. Even renaming the private key to .jpg as indicated on the other website, the app just says it's an invalid key.
