What I have discovered, which could make getting the parent PID unnecessary, is that a log file is created in SSH$ROOT:[VAR] named either
 <this_hostname>_<remote host or IP address>_<process_PID>.log
or
<remote host or IP address>_<process_PID>.log
 but unless the login fails, nothing is written.
 No idea why or when which form is used.
 Can I presume that a PID will be unique until a system reboot? If so I could delete/rename these logs at system startup, then look for the file, at least to get the remote node, and add to the process name.
 Otherwise maybe I cold hack the client startup to create a readable file with remote node and user?
 

Interestingly SYS$REM_NODE and SYS$REM_NODE_FULLNAME are both set to the remote IP address, but SYS$REM_ID is set to the local, not the remote username.
