/**
 * The interface for an object that receives events based on requests that
 * a client sends on a session channel. Once the session channel has been set up,
 * a program is started at the server end. The program can be a shell, an application
 * program, or a subsystem with a host-independent name. Only one of these requests
 * can succeed per channel.
 * 
 * CAUTION: These event methods are being called from the receiver thread. The receiving of
 * messages will be blocked until your event handler returns. To signal to the client that you
 * are willing to accept its request, return a {@link Runnable} object which will be executed
 * in a new thread after the acknowledgment has been sent back to the client.
 * 

 * If a method does not allow you to return a {@link Runnable}, then the
 * SSH protocol does not allow to send a status back to the client (more exactly, the client cannot
 * request an acknowledgment). In these cases, if you need to invoke
 * methods on the {@link ServerSession} or plan to execute long-running activity, then please do this from within a new {@link Thread}.
 * 
 * If you want to signal a fatal error, then please throw an IOException. Currently, this will
 * tear down the whole SSH connection.
