Hum, do this for me, would ya? (1) what happens when you run AUTOSSH_POLL=100 /usr/lib/autossh/autossh ..... (2) first cp /usr/bin/autossh to your home directory, and edit it to replace the line exec /usr/lib/autossh/autossh "$@" with env | grep AUTOSSH Then in your shell call ./autossh (just that, not options). What happens? ----------------------- If I remember correctly, shell environmental variables are supposed to be passed to child shells. So scripts are supposed to inherit those variables. So we are now trying to figure out whether it is the shell that is broken or it is the autossh binary that is broken.

Physicist: Measure the diameter, devide by two for radius and use the formula 4/3 * PI * radius ^ 3 Chemist: Take a beaker, fill it with water. Dunk the ball in it, and measure the amount of water displaced. Engineer: It's easy, just pull out the "Little Red Ball" book and look it up. Sortir en Pantoufles: up 1007 days, 8:05
