<snip>
 

I'd like to add a stanza like:
'restart')
Ê /etc/init.d/sshd stop
Ê /etc/init.d/sshd start
;;
   

why not just do:
'restart')
Ê {code to stop the PID of sshd}
Ê /usr/local/sbin/sshd
Ê ;;
 

Well, duh! That's an obvious idea; why didn't I think of it?
Thanks, Chris, I'll give a try later on today.
(I wonder where those garbage characters (Ê) came from . . . we're 
switching to a new webmail system, and I typed spaces, but something 
mangled them.)

Secondly, assuming the script is made to work, will it work 
remotely, or will the process be killed when the sshd 
daemon goes down because it's a process spawned from 
an incoming ssh connection that's a "sub-process" of that 
sshd daemon?
   

It will not kill the sshd child processes.  You can safely perform this action remotely.
 

Good; that'll make life much easier.

Thanks!
