[Bug 1473] New: Add option to save PID of a backgrounded ssh process
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1473

Summary: Add option to save PID of a backgrounded ssh process
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Portable OpenSSH
Version: 5.0p1
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: ssh
AssignedTo: bitbucket@mindrot.org
ReportedBy: tsteiner@nerdclub.net


When sending an ssh session to the background, there is no option to
save the forked process's PID to a file. This would be very helpful
when writing scripts that manage ssh tunnels. An example of such usage
would be:

ssh user@host -L 123:remote.host:456 -f /var/run/tunnel.pid -N
