As of ssh-2.1.0, the behaviour of the "-f" parameter (fork to
background) was changed so that if forwards are specified, it will
handle them indefinitely. So, you could do the above like this:
% ssh -f +C -l remote-user -L 3316:customer-intranet-ip:3316 customer1
The'-n' and '-S' are implied with '-f'. This should do what you want.
Note: after this, you have to kill the ssh2 process yourself using its
pid (use ps -ef | grep ssh2 or something).
