One good way would be to use rsync's --rsh option to
invoke ssh yourself with something like -o ServerAliveInterval.
It's not clear to me how you'd get the ssh error code back
out of rsync, in other words what error rsync returns in the
case of transport failure. Maybe 10? Perhaps someone else
can chime in here?
