Yup, and I do use autossh in some cases, like when ssh is ran in the background for the purpose of setting up tunnels. OpenSSH itself has been adopting some of the features of autossh. It wouldn't help for the situation I'm currently having with ROXTerm, as ssh is being tunneled through a VPN, and it's the VPN that is dropping out. (Unfortunately, at the moment that VPN is the less than secure pptp. I can probably automate reconnections, but haven't looked into it.) Ideally I'd like a setup where the VPN can be disrupted, and restored, without causing ssh to reconnect. Because ssh uses TCP, I don't think thats possible. At best you can turn off (leave off) the ssh keep-alive features and hope no packets get sent during the VPN outage, which lead to a timeout or other packet error that causes OpenSSH to terminate the connection. -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
