[clug] Process monitor suggestion.

[Randall Crook]

At the moment the script monitors some ssh processes to let me know they are there and the connection the represent is up. The script simply uses clear and echo to tell me the connection is at a superficial level is there. 

I'm looking to pretty up the whole affair with perhaps a little widow some where on screen with some form of indication that the connections are behaving. And if one of the connections drops I can do what's needed to restore it.
