This doesn't answer your question for PIDs, but should solve the overall problem. Change your ssh command to ssh -f -q -L 2222:dmz_machine_ip:22 user@intermediary_machine_ip sleep 60 This establishes the tunnel for a 60 second window then dies silently. However, if port 2222 is still in use at the end of 60 seconds, ssh keeps the tunnel open until you disconnect. So, there's no manual cleanup required. -- Rob Farmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
