Thank you to those of you who replied.  Interesting experience.

I was uploading a data dump into MySql. My "Konsole" did not show
any activity for about an hour and a half. Then I get the message
"Write failed: Broken pipe".

This morning I erased the database I had uploaded last night
because there was no way to tell if the import was complete.

The import was about 600MB.

Last night I had added "ServerAliveInterval 5" to my sshd config.

This morning when I did the upload it took about 3 minutes. It
looks like all the data is there.  That means my shell must have
been hung for well over an hour.

Thanks again for all the ideas and feedback!!

moin moin Keith,

Last night I shelled into a web server I am working on and issue
the command to upload data into MySql from the command line.  The
process took about an hour and a half.

Then I received the message "Write failed: Broken pipe".  In
researching, apparently sshd timed out.

I'm guessing the process completed...  But how would I know?

Check MySQL to see if all of the data loaded.

The ssh connection was killed, so you don't know how the shell did.

If you need to run long commands on remote systems, use screen or
tmux on
the remote system. That will keep the shell running even if the
network
connection is killed. It also allows you to reconnect to the shell.

screen -S mysession # Start a screen session named mysession
screen -x mysession # reconnect to the screen session named
mysession

-a d # disconnect from an active screen session

If you already run screen locally you can either run screen within
screen
or you can start a new xterm, then connect out.

I also recommend the ServerAliveInterval, but I set it to 5
minutes. I
used that for all ssh connections.

ServerAliveInterval 300

ciao,

der.hans

Thank you to those of you who replied.  Interesting experience.

I was uploading a data dump into MySql. My "Konsole" did not show any 
activity for about an hour and a half. Then I get the message "Write 
failed: Broken pipe".


This morning I erased the database I had uploaded last night because 
there was no way to tell if the import was complete.


The import was about 600MB.

Last night I had added "ServerAliveInterval 5" to my sshd config.

This morning when I did the upload it took about 3 minutes. It looks 
like all the data is there.  That means my shell must have been hung for 
well over an hour.

Add " ServerAliveInterval 60" to ~/.ssh/config to keep that from 
annoying you.


You'll know if your data xfer is incomplete.  If it didn't exit clean 
before that, probably not.

Many networking appliances that do NAT close connections after a period 
of inactivity.  This period usually ranges from 30 to 120 minutes, and 
may not be adjustable.  This is why I have keepalive.sh in my ~/bin/ :


#!/bin/sh
while true ; do
   echo -n '.'
   sleep 300
   done

...start whatever's going to take a long time in the background, then 
start keepalive.sh in the foreground, connection won't drop.

Check the mysql DB for the last row in the dump you were loading, of 
course.
