hanging ssh after connection, only in same shell

[Oliver Albertini]

Hi, thanks for the response. You are right that the terminal change was coincidence.

Let me clarify my situation. I am using netctl to start the vpn session, and in the script, the sequence of commands look as follows:

sudo netctl start vpn
ssh -N -f -T -R12321:localhost:22 ssh_host
ssh ssh_host # at some point I will disconnect.
ssh -O exit ssh_host
sudo netctl stop vpn

The background ssh hangs when I run the script, but if I just run

sudo netctl start vpn

and go to another terminal (or wait long enough, apparently), I can do the rest of the commands without a hitch. With the previous version, this never happened.

Let me know if you still want to see the -v output.

Many thanks.
