   'These variables can be accessed from all modules.

End Sub

Sub Globals

   'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
   Dim SSH2 As jkSSH2
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   
   SSH2.initialize("SSH", "hostname", 22)

Hi, I'm using this library with this simple code:

B4X:

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Private xui As XUI
    Dim ssh As jkSSH2
End Sub

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.

End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("Layout")
    ssh.Initialize("SSH", "myserver", 22)
    ssh.authenticateWithPassword("user", "pass")
    
End Sub

Sub Button1_Click

    ssh.execCommand("sudo systemctl stop minidlna", 10)
    
    
End Sub

When I try in debug mode all works well.
In relase mode, when I click on "Buttun1" the app close immediately.

Could someone help me understand why?

it works correctly in release mode - look on 1st page and apply workaround to mainthread exception.
