Well that's what I would have thought, the child 
process _is_ writing the socket but does not recieve 
any such signal (or appears not to..)  The child 
lives on and when it next writes the socket, the 
channel drops and then it dies.

Netcat dies imediately when syslog-ng is HUPPED, 
which points again at the script of course..

I'll capture the ssh (openssh 2.1) debug output and
I can post the key bits of the script if you think
it would help?

And I'll add a trap for SIGPIPE.

Thanks for the responce.

ciao
