... that's 'cos you can't... easily ( user is simple, password isn't ).
Programs like expect will allow you to set something up, but it may well
be better to set up a dedicated login to run the command ( add in the
command instead of the shell in /etc/passwd, and add to /etc/shells ), and
the use ssh-keygen et al to make for a passwordless ssh to
<newuser>@<remotehost>

$0.02,

Never tried, but isn't it possible with proc_open() ?

Thanks guys,

expect is an option, however I might get the rsa key setup.
