C# send a simple SSH command

I used SSH.Net in a project a while ago and was very happy with it. It also comes with a good documentation with lots of samples on how to use it.

The original package website can be still found here, including the documentation (which currently isn't available on GitHub).

For your case the code would be something like this.

using (var client = new SshClient("hostnameOrIp", "username", "password"))
{
    client.Connect();
    client.RunCommand("etc/init.d/networking restart");
    client.Disconnect();
}

SshClient cSSH = new SshClient("192.168.10.144", 22, "root", "pacaritambo");
cSSH.Connect();
SshCommand x = cSSH.RunCommand("exec \"/var/lib/asterisk/bin/retrieve_conf\"");
cSSH.Disconnect();
cSSH.Dispose();

//using SSH.Net

SharpSSH should do the job. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/11966/sharpSsh-A-Secure-Shell-SSH-library-for-NET
