SSH Tunnels on start up

Hi,

I want two SSH tunnels i use on a daily basis to start when i start up my mac. They are in the format ssh -f -L 9999:server:25 server -N

Any ideas?

I think ssh will want you to open a terminal window and won't run without it. you can try making a launch daemon to execute this command at login and see what happens but I don't think it will work. get Lingon to make a launch daemon. if that doesn't work save this line as an executable shell script and add it to your login items. this will open a terminal window when you log in and run the script.

BTW, such questions are best asked in the Unix forum under OS X technologies.
