Is there any way to create a dependence between two sessions in PuTTY? I would like to have a session ("session-client") automatically call another session ("session-tunnel") before opening the connection. Currently, the two connections work as intended on their own (i.e., if I first open "session-tunnel" and then open "session-client"), but I would like some mechanism for calling only "session-client" and automatically having "session-tunnel" open first.
I have read up on the proxy function, but can't seem to find any way to use "session-tunnel" in this role. This is almost what I want, but I don't want it to reroute to standard in/out; I just want it to run the proxy command before opening a regular ssh session.
The purpose of opening the connection this way is that I want to run a plain ssh-tunnel (not vpn) with passwordless ssh (authorized-keys only) with different user names on the target of "session-client" and "session-tunnel". I would like to be able to access this compound connection through a single PuTTY session handle so I can use that session handle in Tortoise SVN.
My sessions are configured with different user names for the tunnel and for the svn server, along with different keyfiles. A screenshot of the relevant screens follows (note port numbers and IP addresses have been changed.)
