Needle hangs on retrieve app list

[HenryHoggard]

Issue

Expected behaviour

Needle should get list of apps in order to run a module.

Actual behaviour

Needle hangs forever when trying to retrieve list of apps. Could be multiple sshpass sessions messing with needle.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run any module
2. set app '' to get needle to search for apps again
3. Attempt to run another module
4. Needle hangs, you have to then kill the process.
