Connecting with ssh through the shell?

I am working with Go trying to automate keeping track of all of my ssh connections. I am having some issues running the command from Go. Here is my code:

cmd := exec.Command("ssh", string(c.Address))
		cmd.Stderr = os.Stderr
		cmd.Stdin = os.Stdin
		cmd.Stdout = os.Stdout
		err2 := cmd.Run()
		if err2 != nil {
			fmt.Print("Disconnected")
		}

c.Address is equivalent to "person@192.168.1.1" not using that ip obviously but when I run this I get the following error.

ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.168.1.1
: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I can connect just fine using ssh from my terminal.

Thanks!

Use the golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package.

Package documentation.

Nice tutorial to get you started.

If you have

cmd := exec.Command("ssh", string("root@192.168.1.1"))

it works. As per the comment above if you have

cmd := exec.Command("ssh", string("root@192.168.1.1 ")) - notice the extra space

then you will get the error you you described.
