Description:
------------
I notice after running some php scripts that connects, execute a few statements and then finish, that there are lingering proccesses on the remote host a linux box FC2, where a ps ax looks like
  7102 ?        S      0:00 sshd: watchdog [priv]
  7104 ?        S      0:00 sshd: watchdog@notty

Upon closer inspection i find that this only happens when using libphp4 regardless of whether i dl load or preload using php.ini extension=ssh2. When running from the command line this does not happen at all. When using apache i have found no way around it. I've tried ssh2_exec($con, 'exit'), unset($con) and exit. There seems to be no hook for cleanup like there is when when the command line php proccess ends. And yes restarting apache frees the connections.


Reproduce code:
---------------
$con = ssh2_connect('hostname', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($con, 'user', 'passwd');
ssh2_exec($con, 'uname');
exit;

diff php.ini-dist php.ini

< session.bug_compat_42 = 1
---
> session.bug_compat_42 = 0


Expected result:
----------------
i expect php under apache to close ssh connection upon completion of the script, like cli php does.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.

Look for this fix in 0.7

Hello,

I'm running into the same issue, although I'm running 0.10.

I did see where there was a patch for SSH2.C (1.16) but don't know if I should add that to the mix.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Mike

This bug is partially still persitent in php_ssh2 0.10, especially if 
mod php abborts  ord dies due to some error, or when users 
abborts the request triggering the ssh connection. If the streams 
to remote shell or exec are not closed the whole connection will 
perist. 
Looking tho she sources the shutdown function unregisters from 
php but forgets to explicitly check if the streams are still open 
and forces them to be closed if nobody sent an exit or logout 
command to shell. 
 
So please add some force logout and disconnect when php 
terminates.

This bug still exists in ssh2, latest:

[Server @ NL01] ~ $ w

I just rebooted my server, because there were 35 ssh sessions active... ?

**.** = php script.

I even use ssh2_exec($conn, 'exit');, this doesnt work allways...
