hi,

i use the following script to connect to some dmz-servers in
runbeforejob. 
if i run the job manually it works always, but if the scheduler runs it
at 
night, all the jobs with this script always get stuck until i kill the 
"[ssh-tunnel.sh] <defunct>" proecesses.

after that the queued jobs for the same clients, with the same
runbeforejob, 
run fine.

while it waits the tunnel itself opens fine, but it looks like that the
script 
doesn't exit becouse ssh waits for something...

any ideas how to fix that?

------------

#!/bin/sh

# variables
USER=bacula
CLIENT=$2
LOCAL=bla.domain.tld
SSH=/usr/bin/ssh

case "$1" in
 start)
    # create ssh-tunnel 
        echo "Starting SSH-tunnel to $CLIENT..."
        exec &>/dev/null
        $SSH -fnN2 -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey -i
/var/lib/bacula/.ssh/id_dsa -l $USER -R 9103:$LOCAL:9103 $CLIENT >
/dev/null 2> /dev/null
        exit $?
        ;;

 stop)
        # remove tunnel 
        echo "Stopping SSH-tunnel to $CLIENT..."
        # find PID killem
        PID=`ps ax | grep "/usr/bin/ssh" | grep
"/var/lib/bacula/.ssh/id_dsa" | grep "$CLIENT" | awk '{ print $1 }'`
        kill $PID
        exit 0;
        ;;
 *)
        #  usage:
        echo "             "
        echo "      Start SSH-tunnel to client-host"
        echo "      to bacula-director and storage-daemon"
        echo "            "
        echo "      USAGE:"
        echo "      ssh-tunnel.sh {start|stop} client.fqdn"
        echo ""
        exit 1
        ;;
