Putty does not exit when remote command terminates

[Antoine Martin]

In ssh-mode, we launch a remote X command and putty is still running when the command terminates.
This causes the session to remain "active" on the client despite the fact that it is really finished...

This happens with all the clients we can use: TortoisePlink.exe, Plink.exe as well as openssh (via cygwin).
Looks like the clients refuse to shutdown whilst there is still a tunnel (the X display connection) so we may have to use a trick on the server and run the command via a wrapper which will take care of killing the ssh process when the command terminates.

done the wrapper script hack: r1801

But the problem now is that putty moans and displays an alert box to the user...

So the final solution will be to:

• use openssh?
• get the script to send a message to the server (socat?) which will be relayed to the client so IT can kill plink

Done: start ssh session via wrapper script which will pass CLOSE_SESSION to the client via the server: r1804
