Problem

Is it possible to send a SIGTERM (or other) signal to a process inside ssh, for example: What can I do to interrupt the sleep command? If I press ctrl-c, the ssh command gets interrupted.

Error Output

ssh hostname 'sleep 10; echo done'

Fix for: Send SIGTERM signal to a process running inside ssh

Low Risk

It is possible to propagate through to the remote process by implementing an "EOF to SIGHUP" converter via a named pipe on the remote host (see: ssh command unexpectedly continues on other system after ssh terminates).
