Heh,  SSH on Windows *sucks*.  I've tried numerous implementations, they
are all a disaster.

Create a pid directory where you can create a state file for each
connection as it comes up.  From the initialization of the connection
[within your bash script] create this file and write the information
[from within the process].  Then you can just scan the folder for
information on active connections and potentially reap terminated
connectons.
