SHELL INPUT/OUTPUT SEGREGATION
First Claim
1. At a client in a network computing environment, a method of ensuring that commands are properly executed at a remote command-line shell processor by separating the command from input and output streams, the method comprising:
- sending an execution request message that includes a command to a command-line shell processor for execution, wherein the command is sent as a unit that includes one or more of a command name, one or more switches, or other information needed for a successful execution thereof,upon receiving acknowledgement that the command has properly been received by the command-line shell processor, sending input for the command as one or more streams of data; and
in response to the execution of the command using the streamed input, receiving one or more streams of output data from the command-line shell processor.

Abstract
Embodiments described herein are based on the principle that shells execute commands as units of characters. Accordingly, embodiments herein provide for a sending side with enough intelligence to isolate each command, examine it, perform some levels of validation, and deliver a structured representation of the command to the remote processor before doing any network operations. More specifically, embodiments herein provided for a mechanism of identifying a command and encapsulating the command into a single message (e.g., a SOAP, HTTPS, or other type message), which is then sent to a remote shell for processing as an entire unit. Accordingly, embodiments herein treat the command as a single unit, rather than as a character-oriented transmission.

7. At a remote shell processor in a network computing environment, a method of ensuring that commands are properly executed at a remote command-line shell processor by separating the command from input and output streams, the method comprising:
-
receiving at a command-line shell processor an execution request message that includes a command, wherein the command is received as a unit that includes one or more of a command name, one or more switches, or other information needed for a successful execution thereof; sending an acknowledgement that the command has properly been received by the command-line shell processor; after sending the acknowledgement, receiving input for the command as one or more streams of data; and in response to the execution of the command using the streamed input, sending one or more streams of output data from the command-line shell processor. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. At a client in a network computing environment, a computer program product for implementing a method of ensuring that commands are properly executed at a remote command-line shell processor by separating the command from input and output streams, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable media having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, can cause the client to perform the following:
-
send an execution request message that includes a command to a command-line shell processor for execution, wherein the command is sent as a unit that includes one or more of a command name, one or more switches, or other information needed for a successful execution thereof, upon receiving acknowledgement that the command has properly been received by the command-line shell processor, send input for the command as one or more streams of data; and in response to the execution of the command using the streamed input, receive one or more streams of output data from the command-line shell processor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
