Re: SSH doesnt properly logout

[Saint Neon <neo_chanakya@yahoo.com>]

I am not an expert in SSH, but here is a suggestion
that you would like to try out.

If you use the single-shell method, you will have to
terminate the agent yourself. Instead, use a
sub-shell. Like this.

ssh-agent /bin/bash
(or)
ssh-agent $SHELL

What this does, is it automatically terminates the
agent when you log out. Meaning that it will terminate
the process running in the background too.

Hope this helps,
Neon.
