Corinna, your solution looks to be the only thing that can be done today without writing code - or, at least, nothing significant: I've tested the solution and it works fine, though you do have to tollerate this stupid, empty sshd popup window. If you close the window, sshd exits, though you can reset the window properties to make it tiny and it will remember them if you ask it to - on W2kPro, at least. You have to create a spare "dummy account" you won't ever log into and have a "transferr" program available (or modify your target) in order to catch the command line sent to it by sshd/bash (it'll get -c <full command line>) For those that may search the archives behind me and want a full articulation, in a few minutes I'll make a post that outlines the whole thing, top to bottom. Thanks Corinna! (And Igor!)
