OK, I misunderstood.  You can use "cu -d <system_name>" and this will show all
"debug" output from the connection (possibly messy), or you can do this command
from inside of "cu":

~!ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep cu

This will show you all occurances of "cu" running, and you can then use the 
PPID to figure out which one belongs to your process.  (Looking at the lock
files will work, except that you will not be able to guarantee that a specific
lock file goes with your process.)

The "cu -d" method would be the easiest, but it will also yield ugly debug text
on your screen.
