Hi,

on my laptop I use a script that launches several lines like this to connect to my home server:

exec ssh -L 127.0.0.1:60000:192.168.X.Y:80 -N user@host &

It works fine. The problem is killing that connection. What I do is "killall ssh", but perhaps there is another way I have not thought about? I mean, kill that ssh session and not another?

Add the line echo $! to your script directy after that line. This is the PID of ssh you can kill later.
