This allows use of the ssh -M option when using autossh.
thanks for the patch, while passing -M to ssh makes sense, it doesn't with -f since the command will be launched with no controlling ttys (in case of interactive programs) and will be relaunched whenever autossh detects connection failure, and this is not good :) This is the first reason I can think of, please feel free to provide another use case where using autossh -- -f ssh <host> <command> can be useful filippo -- Filippo Giunchedi PGP key: 0x6B79D401 random quote follows: Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
