[GLLUG] ssh hangs on remote shutdown

[Scott Harrison]

Hi:

An ongoing phenomenon I have noticed is:

[invokingshell %] ssh user at remotemachine
[remotemachine %] shutdown -r +2 &
[remotemachine %] exit (or Ctrl-D)

The ssh session hangs on me, not returning me to the invoking shell.

I have noticed this throughout the years and am right now
witnessing this with Mandrake 9.2.

Help stop hung terminals!  Anybody else know what's going
on and/or has investigated this?

Regards,
Scott
