I've got a script (script-a) which uses ssh to run a script (script-b)
on another system.  When I run script-a from the command line,
everything works fine; but when I run it via AutoSys the ssh process
does not go away on the host system.  On the target system, script-b
completes and exits normally and the target system drops the
connection, but the ssh process on the host system doesn't go away.

If that doesn't make sense, I can probably explain it better.

Thanks,
Bub

Try to add -t option to ssh command.
Run "trap" command in script-a to see what signals does Autosys mask out.
Add your own handlers and redirect traps, if needed.

Thanks Adrei,

I'll try trapping and see where that leads.

I tried the "-t" right off, but that didn't work; "Pseudo-terminal
will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal."  Apparently
Autosys doesn't allocate a TTY when making it's call, and there's no
"-t" like option for Autosys...
