I use the runbbs script that seems to do the same job. BUT as soon as I
close the ssh session to start the script it dies anyway. (wanders off and
uses this script via ssh and terminates the session) (telnets to tcob1.net
2000) umm

Nope, it dies as soon as you close the ssh session (wanders off again)
