FINISHED

After 'FINISHED' is written (indicating that obviously the apt-get
finished) the ssh connection and 'tee' stay around.

you can then 'apt-get --purge remove rabbitmq-server' and see bug 878597
and then reproduce it.

While the connection and tee are hung, you can then run the following to
stop the server, which will result in the ssh command finishing.

$ sudo service rabbitmq-server stop
Stopping rabbitmq-server: rabbitmq-server.


This was found when launching devstack (devstack.org) from an ssh connection.
