Description

I use Apache Mina SSH client. The request that I want to send looks like:

user@host -w my_password -o SendEnv=SOME_VAR -s subsystem_name

But for now it is impossible to use env vars and subsystem together.

What I have tried so far
1. ChannelShell class has setEnv(key, value) method but I can't go in
subsystem
2. ChannelSubsystem class allows to go to subsystem but it has no
setEnv(key, value) method
3. Also I have tried to open ChannelShell, set env, then open
ChannelSubsystem using the same session as was used for ChannelShell, but it
seems env variable hasn't gotten to ChannelSubsystem.
