Expect: Getting PID at both ends of ssh
am 22.01.2007 21:08:09 von Ishmael
This may be more of a Unix question, but in any case, here goes. I'm
using Expect as a wrapper for 'ssh' (don't worry, I have RSA keys
enabled, so no password issues). Now, Expect provides a nice interface
for getting the PID of it's own spawned process (locally), but I would
like to get the PID at the other end of the ssh (remotely). Ideally, I
would like to get something of the form:
Local PID: 1234 (expect spawned ssh) ---> Remote PID: 5678 (shell)
How do you trace through from one end of ssh to the other? Thanks for
your help!

I don't have a lot of experience with Expect/ssh, but I think it should
be as simple as issuing "echo $$" to ssh and capturing the result.
