Good afternoon!

I've been looking for a way to avoid having to keep my "master" ssh session open while I have others open. This is particularly a pain when my "master" is an scp connection.

After searching the archives, I came up with this thread "ControlPersist and multiple X11 forwardings." However, I can't find anything saying that it was incorporated or not, or what has happened. The last reply to this thread was in 2005.

Unlike the originator of the thread, I don't have a patch to offer, only a request to make:

I would find the ControlPersist option very useful, but I would find a slight alteration even more useful: an option to background the "master" process *so long as there are open channels*. I don't want an open ssh connection just hanging around, but I also don't like an extra, useless xterm left open doing nothing at all while another window has something going.


Thanks!

JP
