Stewart,
Ssh clients hold the connection open so long as there is something using
it,
in this case a forwarded port. There's no way that the client could exit
without causing the forwarded port to close, too.
James,
That's the point! You initiate the ssh session, with a shell/script that
will just exit after, say, 60 seconds. In the mean time you set up the
tunnelled VNC session. The ssh session exits when the time is up, but is
held open by the open tunnelled port(s). Then when you do close the VNC
session, the ssh session closes too because there is now nothing to keep it
open, which is what I thought was wanted.
