Hi,

with port forwarding like

ssh -L 5432:host.at.work:25

I am able to access the mail server at
work to send email with a local
client (mutt + esmtp in this case).

Is it possible to automatically shut down
the forwarding when the client exits. Of
course I could wrap the client in a script
which starts the port forwarding, picks up
its PID, runs the client and then kills
the PID, but maybe there is something built
into ssh to do exactly this.

  Thanks,
  Harald Kirsch.
