https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1594

           Summary: please add an option to print the pid of -f
                    backgrounded process
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.2p1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: mh+openssh-bugzilla at zugschlus.de


Hi,

when one sends an ssh -MNf process to the background, it would be good
to be able to kill it later without having to search for it in the
process list. An option having it print its pid just before it
backgrounds itself would be a great help.

Greetings
Marc

There's another option: you can use ControlMaster plus "-O exit"
for
that.  ie.

ssh -MNf -o controlpath=~/ssh/somehost -o controlmaster=yes somehost
sleep 10000

then
ssh -o controlpath=~/ssh/somehost -O exit somehost
