homeDirSafe option for startProcess() method

[ozgurcd]

LDAP backed Unix hosts might not allow users to run commands if they
are not logged in to that host previously since they don't have a home
directory yet. This option, when set to true, creates a shell before
running a command and immediately closes it to trigger home directory
creation.

Hi Ozgur,

Thanks for the pull request. Before I merge it, I'd like it to be implemented differently:

1. Instead of passing a boolean to startProcess, this should be configured by using a connection property (defined on the SshConnectionBuilder class).
2. Instead of copying the implementation of startProcess to a new method, there should be one method that checks that connection property.
3. The special logic should only be invoked for the first process started on the remote machine.

The first change allows existing code to use the same connection method. The second change just makes the code cleaner and easier to maintain. The third one just makes it more efficient.

Can you make those changes? Alternatively you can wait until I have some time to make them. :-)

Regards, Vincent.

Hello Vincent,

Actually I was thinking about it too (: this is a very fast implementation
since I needed it for my work project at that time.

If I can spare some time I'll try to do it (:

Thank you,
Ozgur

Hi Ozgur,

OK. If you can continue your project for now, then I'll either wait until you send me a new pull request or until I find some time to make it nice myself. No hurry. :-)

Regards, Vincent.
