[John Harrold]

Sometime in February Ryan W. Frenz assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| OK, now (probably) a tougher problem.  How can I get the script to 
| collect the PID of the process launched through ssh?  What I mean is, if 
| my perl script executes 'ssh <machine> <command>', I want to then know 
| what the process ID of <command> is on <machine>.  Is this even possible?

how exactly are you executing the program? are you using the backtics `?

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless,
 whether the mad destruction is brought under the name of totalitarianism or
 the holy name of liberty and democracy?
