A rc script duly implementing the above
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=9384
As to the man page, the '-O' flag is described as:
Code:
-O ctl_cmd
Control an active connection multiplexing master process. When
the -O option is specified, the ctl_cmd argument is interpreted
and passed to the master process. Valid commands are: ``check''
(check that the master process is running), ``forward'' (request
forwardings without command execution), ``cancel'' (cancel for-
wardings), ``exit'' (request the master to exit), and ``stop''
(request the master to stop accepting further multiplexing
requests).
I would be tempted to add something along the lines of the following to the end of the paragraph:
Quote:
The ''check'' command can be used to obtain the PID of a running master process. All output from commands is sent to standard error.
