Hello autossh maintainers, Just wanted to express my support for including the patch in the autossh package. I was about to write an initscript for autossh for my own use before finding this bug report, but I've found the attached script serves my purposes quite well and the quality seems very good to me. I'm sure other users from benefit from it as well.
If it's not worth installing the init script by default, I'd recommend including it in /usr/share/doc/autossh/examples as a reference. The only suggestion I have is to avoid calling not_configured in the init script when $START is 0, especially if the init script is installed by default. Users who do not want to run autossh as a daemon are unlikely to want to see an attention-grabbing 3-line warning about it on every boot. Convention seems to be to print a single-line "Starting autossh: not configured" or similar. Thanks for considering, and thanks to LluĂs for writing it, Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
