           Summary: Add option to save PID of a backgrounded ssh process
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 5.0p1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: bitbucket@mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: tsteiner@nerdclub.net


When sending an ssh session to the background, there is no option to
save the forked process's PID to a file.  This would be very helpful
when writing scripts that manage ssh tunnels.  An example of such usage
would be:

ssh user@host -L 123:remote.host:456 -f /var/run/tunnel.pid -N
