yet another SSH question

[tony.chamberlain at lemko.com]

There is a LAN of machines: 192.168.3.13, 192.168.20.5, 192.168.20.10, 192.168.20.20, 192.168.20.30, 192.168.20.50.
These are all accessible from each other via ssh, scp, ping, etc. One of these machines 192.168.3.13 is accessible
also via the internet.

using port redirection (and I do set OUTSIDEIP to the IP address., I just am not publishing it here, for security)
I create something called sstest:

ssh -X -oBatchMode=yes -o TCPKeepAlive=yes -l support1 -L 10005:192.168.20.5:22 -L 10010:192.168.20.10:22 -L 10020:192.168.20.20:22 -L 10030:192.168.20.30:22 -L 10040:192.168.20.40:22 -L 10050:192.168.20.50:22 $OUTSIDEIP
(this is actually one line long it just wraps. Anyway this allows me to do things like

 ssh -l root -p 10005 localhost # ssh to 192.168.20.5
 scp -P 10020 root at localhost:file . # scp file "file" from 192.168.20.20

etc. This works fine.

My problem is I want a cron job to do it. So I would have to execute sstest with an ampersand like ./sstest & ).
However, when I put sstest into the background like that, then none of the port forwarding ssh and scp commands
works.

I want the cronjob to execute a script that does something like this:

 ./sstest &
 scp -P 10010 root at localhost:file.txt .

any suggestions?
