I am writing a little tool for executing commands in parallel on many different hosts. All the hosts could login with a same private key. So, I want to use SSHAgent to get auth to login. When I use it for a single host, it works well. But when I use it in many goroutines, it doesn't work. I am very confused, is there somebody can help me? Thanks very much. The code used sshagent are as below:
func ExcuteRemote(uname,host,cmd string) (bool,error) {
ip,err := GetIp(host)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return false,err
}
auths := []ssh.AuthMethod{}
if sshAgent, err := net.Dial("unix", os.Getenv("SSH_AUTH_SOCK")); err == nil {
fmt.Println("get sock")
auths = append(auths, ssh.PublicKeysCallback(agent.NewClient(sshAgent).Signers))
defer sshAgent.Close()
}
config := &ssh.ClientConfig{
User: uname,
Auth: auths,
}
fmt.Println("after config")
client, err := ssh.Dial("tcp", ip+":"+"22", config)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("something wrong when dial")
fmt.Println(err)
return false,err
}
session, err := client.NewSession()
if err != nil {
return false,err
}
defer session.Close()
var b bytes.Buffer
session.Stdout = &b
err = session.Run(cmd)
if err != nil {
return false,err
}
fmt.Println(b.String())
return true,nil
}
And the code used channel are as below :
func testchannel(ch chan int, uname,host,cmd string) error{
result,err := ExcuteRemote(uname,host,cmd)
if result {
fmt.Println(host + " ok")
} else {
fmt.Println(err)
fmt.Println(host + " failed")
}
ch <- 1
return nil
}
in main:
if *list != "" {
runtime.GOMAXPROCS(runtime.NumCPU())
hosts,err := ReadLine(*list)
if nil != err {
panic(err.Error())
}
chs := make([]chan int, len(hosts))
for index := 0; index < len(hosts); index++ {
chs[index] = make(chan int)
go testchannel(chs[index],uname,hosts[index],*cmd)
}
for _, ch := range(chs) {
<-ch
}
}
the panic like this :
panic: unreachable

I have solved the problem myself. As my understanding, the panic is caused by multiple goroutines want to use the connection of sshagent to the local server. Now, I only set connection once, and keep it connected until the program over. The code in function main :
When I need a config in a goroutine, I pass the config as a param into it, it works well!
My function in a goroutine is as follow:
