I've noticed that, with recent versions of ssh (i.e., it hasn't always been like this), I'll do: localsystem$ ssh remotesystem remotesystem$ su Password: remotesystem# /etc/init.d/randomdaemon restart remotesystem# exit remotesystem$ exit <hangs> Fortunately, I'm always doing this in an xterm, so I can just kill the terminal and whatever process(es) I left running on remotesystem will continue to run, but this doesn't seem like it's The Way Things Should Work. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
