Hello!

I have written a script that establishes an SSH Tunnel and does Port
Forwarding from a local CYGWIN Shell ....

When I try to kill the tunnel by the PID, I get nothing ...

Does anyone know how CYGWIN handles PIDs in a local Shell?

ssh -NTf -L 6111:remote.server.org:8080 -L 6112:remote.server.org:8080
me@tunnel.server.org
PIDOF=$!
echo -e "Local Port 6111 is now resolving content from \"
remote.server.org:8080\""
echo -e "Local Port 6112 is now resolving content from \"
remote.server.org:8080\""
echo -e ""
echo -e "Port Forwarding
${red_back}${yellow_text}Active${norm_text}${norm_back}:"
            while true
                do
                    echo -e "Press Any Key to ${red_text}STOP${norm_text}
Port Forwarding ..."
                    read kill
                    case $kill in
                        *) kill $PIDOF ;;
                    esac
                done
    ;;
esac

I'm just getting an empty variable (kill has nothing to kill) .... since
this is just a local shell and not a full fledged system, I was wondering
if anyone knew how CYGWIN handles PIDs.
