That's the moment when you sometimes see constructions like
these:
ssh -L ... user@host sleep 10 &
do something
[ $MAYBE ] && kill $!
I remember some fetchmail docs saying so: Do a sleep 10 or
something to keep up the ssh connection for the time needed to
establish the tunnelled connection. AFAIK the ssh connection
will last until the tunnel is freed, too. Even if the actual
command finished sooner.
