Hi folks, I'm trying to set up a port forward using SSH so that I can collect my emails from home through the company firewall (it's okay, I'm the sysadmin so I won't be treading on any toes.
>From the man page and various googles I've come up with: ssh -L 110:stan:110 stan which opens up a terminal session to stan and also sets up the port forward, so that if I then do telnet 127.0.0.1 110 I get connected to the pop server on stan. What I need to know is how can I do this without ssh opening up the terminal session? The reason being that I want to start the ssh port forward as part of my ip-up script and kill it as part of my ip-down script. When I tried putting it in the background by sticking an ampersand on the end, it stopped until I 'fg' ed it. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
