The shell is likely waiting for the cmd.exe to complete.  The /k option makes the command shell to stay open after the command passed on the command line completes.  The FreeSSHd process spawns the cmd.exe process and is likely waiting for it to complete before continuing. 

Why executing "cmd /k" after connecting in a ssh server using putty makes the keyboard stop working?
I need to search our mail logs for a specific e-mail address.  We keep a current file named maillog as well as a week's worth of .bz2 files in the same folder.  Currently, I'm running the following commands to search for the file:

grep person@domain.com maillog
bzgrep person@domain.com *.bz2


Is there a way combine the grep and bzgrep commands into a single output?  That way, I could pipe the combined results to a single e-mail or a single file.
