client = Plinux(host="172.16.0.124", username="bobby", password="qawsedrf", logger_enabled=True)
response = client.run_cmd("systemctl stop myservicename.service", sudo=True)

print(response)  # ResponseParser(response=(0, None, None, "sudo -S -p '' -- sh -c 'systemctl stop myservicename.service'"))
