Failing to start an .exe to a remote Windows server using Python and paramiko

I have written a simple script that I want to run remotely to a Windows server using Python and Paramiko. The script should execute commands in the cmd on the remote Windows server and I want it to start up an .exe program for a starter. Here is what I have up to now:
import paramiko
hostname = "IP_of_server"
username = "username"
password = "password"
command = "start Full_Path_To_Application\Program.exe"
try:
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(hostname, username=username, password=password, look_for_keys=True, allow_agent=False)
print("Connected to %s" % hostname)
except paramiko.AuthenticationException:
print("Failed to connect to %s due to wrong username/password" %hostname)
exit(1)
try:
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(command)
for line in stdout.readlines():
print(line)
print("Application has been started")
except:
exit(2)
What I get is:
Connected to IP_of_server
Application has been started
When I check on the server using the same username and password the application is not running. Running it manually starts it up.
I have confirmed that the command has been sent to the server by replacing it with "ipconfig" and I get the correct information.
Any idea why the application is not starting? Once it starts it should open a separate cmd with all the logs that I'm not seeing.
Thanks a lot.

not able to get anything in output in python ssh

I am trying to connect to remote server and then try to login the sql server in that machine. however i am not getting any ouput of this script
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy() )
ssh.connect(hostname='172.18.109.244', username='bgf', password='bgf')
print "Logged In to EMS"
cmd = 'mysql -uroot -root'
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(cmd)
stdin.write("show databases;")
stdin.write('\n')
stdin.flush()
print stdout.read()

As mentioned in a comment by #Charles,
read() consumes content to EOF. There is no EOF here because MySQL is
still open. The easy answer is to not just flush stdin, but close it.
you can not do that because MySQL is still open and your script will hang there. So if you just want to get the database, then pass the query to MySQL connection and will work fine :).
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy() )
ssh.connect(hostname='172.18.109.244', username='somuser',password='bgf')
print "Logged In to EMS"
cmd = 'mysql -h somehost.example.com -uroot -proot -e \'show databases;\''
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command(cmd)
# stdin.write("show databases;")
stdin.write('\n')
stdin.flush()
print stdout.read()

Making SSH from a jumpserver(linux) to Devices(modem) using Python

I'm trying to execute few commands in a Jump server(linux) to access certain devices(modems) using SSH. And then get some device details after login in to the device(modem)
I'm using Paramiko to access jump server, the below code
import paramiko
import time
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('jump server ip', username='user', password='pass', key_filename='D:\New folder\id_rsa')
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('pwd') #prints the correct pwd
This works fine
So from the jump server I need to ssh a device(modem) using its ipv6 mac address.
the command is
sudo stbsshv6 'ipv6address'/n
But when I execute any command after ssh the device(modem), I'm not getting anything in stdout. Example:
import paramiko
import time
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect('jump server ip', username='user', password='pass', key_filename='D:\New folder\id_rsa')
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('sudo stbsshv6 "ipv6address"')
stdin.write('ifconfig wlan0\n')#some working command
print stdout.readlines() # prints nothing
I can do manually the above steps using putty,
I'm new to python, can anyone suggest the right solution for this or any alternate way is also great. Thanks

Create a SSH session connect to device through a terminal server

I want to connect to a network device. But in out policy, I have to ssh successfully to a terminal server first, then from this one, ssh to network device. In Python, I use Paramiko :
import paramiko
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
print("OTP : ")
otp = raw_input()
ssh.port=9922
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.load_system_host_keys()
ssh.connect('10.0.0.1',9922,username='khangtt',password=str('12345')+str(otp))
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('whoami')
stdin.close()
for line in stdout.read().splitlines():
print(line)
Connect to server sucessfully, I can see my username in the output. But I don't know how to SSH to device. I used this but nothing happen to set input user/pass :
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('telnet 10.80.1.120')
stdin.close()
for line in stdout.read().splitlines():
print(line)

Since you are using paramiko, use the documentation here: https://pynet.twb-tech.com/blog/python/paramiko-ssh-part1.html. Its very explicit.
Or you can also try the codes here to connect:
ssh.connect('10.0.0.1', 'khangtt', str('12345')+str(otp), look_for_keys=False, allow_agent=False)
Or
ssh.connect('10.0.0.1', 'khangtt', str('12345')+str(otp))
in case you don't need look for keys and allow agent.

Ssh communicator with paramiko

I try to create a ssh class on Python.
ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(host, username=username, password=password)
stdin, stdout, stderr = ssh.exec_command('ls -l')
ssh.close()
This code provides to connect server but when i try to connect another server, i have this error:
userauth is OK
transport._log() => Authentication type (publickey) not permitted.
transport._log() => Allowed methods: ['password']
transport._log() => EOF in transport thread
I couldn't resolve the error. any idea?
