Package: ssh
Version: 1:4.2p1-5
Severity: wishlist
if I use control sockets and exit the first connection, the ssh
process does not return until all other connections using the same
control socket have been closed. of course, this makes sense.
I wish that the master connection would either background itself
when the user chooses to close the connection, or better yet: the
first connection to any peer, which thus creates a control socket,
should background the ssh process handling the control socket and
spawn another ssh process that then uses the control socket.
am i making any sense?
if my suggestion is implemented, the following should not happen:
lapse:~> (ssh dorian sleep 4 && echo "master returned: `date`") &; sleep 2; (ssh dorian sleep 4 && echo "second returned: `date`"); read
second returned: Wed Feb 1 14:39:03 CET 2006
master returned: Wed Feb 1 14:39:03 CET 2006
instead, the second should return 2 seconds after the master.
