Presumably, but I haven't tried running it. I'd kind of like to know how to turn off something that's going to do port-forwarding on my machine before starting it up.

The /usr/bin/show script simply locates the gem and runs it in a Ruby process. You can kill it like any other console program. Inspect the gem if you're curious.

The interesting part of the gem starts off like this:

    def showoff(rhost, rport, lport=80, host='localhost')
      @session.forward.remote lport, host, rport
