[kepler-dev] different versions of SSH actors

[Ilkay Altintas]

Hi Bertram,

I agree that we need to think about this. It is becoming for some  
users when they need an ssh actor.  Norbert's one seems to be the  
most elaborate one.

Dan and I will look into how the two actors could be consolidated  
based on your suggestions when I am back from vacation.

Thanks!
