Oy. I have *no* idea how to do output redirection in NT, but recent versions
of OpenSSH don't close the session until stdout, stderr, and stdin are
closed off (as they are called in the UNIX world). That's why I had the
"2>/dev/null" for UNIX, to redirect stderr, and "</dev/null", to redirect
stdin.

For NT, I assume you need to do something similar, at least to stdin if not
to some form of stderr.
