System.out redirect not released

[EasyG0ing1]

Hello,

Consider this code:

            JSch    jsch    = new JSch();
            Session session = jsch.getSession(USER, HOST, 22);
            session.setPassword(PASSWORD);
            session.setConfig("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
            session.connect();
            ChannelExec channel = (ChannelExec) session.openChannel("exec");
            channel.setCommand(COMMAND);
            channel.setErrStream(System.err);
            channel.setInputStream(null);
            channel.setOutputStream(System.out);
            channel.connect();
            while (!channel.isClosed()) {
                sleep(100, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
            }
            channel.disconnect();
            session.disconnect();

After that code runs, when I try to do System.out.println() it doesn't work. It's like the library is not releasing System.out.

I did a little digging into the classes and found this in the IO class:

  /*
  public void finalize() throws Throwable{
    try{
      if(in!=null) in.close();
    }
    catch(Exception ee){}
    try{
      if(out!=null) out.close();
    }
    catch(Exception ee){}
    try{
      if(out_ext!=null) out_ext.close();
    }
    catch(Exception ee){}
  }
  */

And was wondering if that code being commented out has anything to do with it?

I found a work around by creating a custom OutputStream object then redirecting the channel to that and then in there I have it print to System.out. Doing it that way I don't ever lose the ability to print to console.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?
