--- Comment #25 from Martin Ling <[email protected]> --- Alan/Damien: Yes, this is how the current option supports those cases. My remaining concern is with the strange difference that exists between "no" and "0". My suggestion of a "ControlTransfer" option was intended to make this distinction clearer. If everyone else is happy with the existing option then I'm fine with that. If not, here's a two-option alternative for discussion: ControlTransfer (default no): - no: The ssh invocation which opens the connection will not terminate until all sessions have closed. - yes: The ssh invocation which opens the connection will terminate, but control of the connection will be transferred to another process if other sessions are using it. ControlPersist (default 0): - <time>: The connection will be closed after the specified time when not in use. - "forever": The connection will not be closed. There might be cases in which ControlTransfer=no/ControlPersist=<nonzero> could be useful, e.g. in a script designed to just keep a connection open for reuse. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug.
