Dead SSH Connections from script

[Richard Hobbs]

Hello,

This script is causing problems... for some reason it keeps leaving dead SSH
connections around, which actually caused the server to run out of file
handles, reporting (too many open files).

Is there something wrong with the script??

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, here's the script:

======================================================================
#!/bin/csh -f

set NPARAMS = 1
if ($#argv != $NPARAMS) then
        echo "Usage: $0 <list of automount hosts>"
        exit 1
endif
set HOSTLIST = $1
shift
set P1 = $1
set P2 = $2

set FILENAME=/project2/remote/automountresults`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.txt
echo Automount auto.rmt results > $FILENAME
foreach host (`cat $HOSTLIST`)
        echo $host
        echo $host >> $FILENAME
        /usr/bin/scp /project2/remote/auto.rmt $host":/tmp/"
        /usr/bin/scp /project2/remote/automountconfig $host":/tmp/"
        /usr/bin/ssh root@$host /tmp/automountconfig >> $FILENAME
end
======================================================================

Thanks,
Hobbs.
