I start the background ssh process from within pop3proxy, so it seems to me
I ought to be the one to terminate it. As for protocol, I'm not aware of
another way to terminate a running ssh other than to call kill(2) with a
specified signal. That's more-or-less the Unix way. I don't have the
luxury of modifying ssh to understand some application-specific protocol.
