Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-25 Severity: wishlist * Package name : autossh Version : 1.2c Upstream Author : Carson Harding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ * License : BSD Description : autossh - Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels
autossh is a program to start an instance of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary (should it die or stop passing traffic). The idea comes from rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel), but was re-implemented in C. Connection monitoring is done using a loop of port forwardings. It backs off on the rate of connection attempts when experiencing rapid failures such as the connection being refused. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux karamazov 2.4.19 #1 Wed Dec 4 19:41:21 UTC 2002 i586 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US
