autossh Description

Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels autossh is a free and open source command-line utility to start a copy of SSH and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. Here are some key features of "autossh": · autossh is a program to start a copy of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. The idea is from rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel), but implemented in C. · The author's view is that it is not as fiddly as rstunnel to get to work. · Connection monitoring using a loop of port forwardings or a remote echo service. · Backs off on rate of connection attempts when experiencing rapid failures such as connection refused. · Compiled and tested on OpenBSD, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, Cygwin, and AIX; should work on other BSDs. · Freeware. What's New in This Release: · add AUTOSSH_MAXLIFETIME · include configure.ac in package · fix poll flags so not checking for writable when write done · compile time TOUCH_PIDFILE option to touch pid file on connection test.
