Hello Dan, For idea #1, please check out the MOSH_SERVER_NETWORK_TMOUT and MOSH_SERVER_SIGNAL_TMOUT environment variables. These are documented in the mosh-server(1) man page. The feature was released in Mosh 1.2.6 (August 2016) so your mosh-server needs to be at least that new.
For idea #2, we could certainly try to be more sophisticated than the current behavior, but I think many people deal with this by using mosh to invoke a command like "screen -dr", which automatically cleans up any older mosh session before starting the new one. E.g.: mosh user@server -- screen -dr Regards, Keith On Wed, Oct 18, 2017 at 10:09 PM, Dan Mahoney (Gushi) <d...@prime.gushi.org> wrote: > All, > > I'm aware that for every mosh connection (i.e. one each from my laptop, > desktop, and other laptop), I'm going to have a mosh-server connection. > These each have their own ssl key, and they pass a screen session around, > by doing a screen -d -r on whatever system I sit down at. > > Recently, it seems like I had something like 20 mosh-server sessions > running, which cropped up at various times as I did updates on my various > systems, and then ssh'd back in. > > I'm aware that mosh cannot possibly know when a system has been rebooted, > so can't know when to kill a server session. > > That said, one useful idea would be killing any session that hasn't been > "used" in over some period of time (say, a week?).
