Hi,

is there an existing library to execute SSH-commands from CS runtime software?  
I’d like to reboot a Linux host from the Wago PLC.

I don’t think so. But you could create a script in order to do that, place it in /etc/config-tools folder, make it executable (chmod +x) and then call the script using WagoAppConfigtool library

FbSetSshConfig and FbGetSshConfig are apparently the same libraries?  
I don’t see the command being called, let’s say asking for the temperature “vcgencmd measure\_temp”?

there are 2 ways to call linux commands.

_WagoAppConfigTool_ works smart, because it creates sub task in the background and monitor PID if it is done, so it doesn’t block runtime. In this library you can call _./start\_reboot_ script to reboot controller.

Second possibility is to use codesys _SysProcess_ library (function `SysProcessExecuteCommand2` in sublibrary _SysProcess Implementation_). This way you can call directly you command. But be aware, that it creates subprocess from called task, so **the task stops untill it returns value**. so this way is better to call from separate task with lowest priority.
