If I understand you correctly what you need to do is run "echo $$" on the remote shell then "exec tunnel_command". The $$ will print the pid and the exec will run tunnel_command without changing the pid. -- Nick Craig-Wood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://www.craig-wood.com/nick -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
