PuTTY has a command-line executable called PLINK.EXE (I'm not  
yelling!  I just always see it spelled in upper case) that you could  
use within a batch file.  Also, batch files have a "goto" statement  
that can be used to create a loop.

Can I put in my vote that this is a terrible idea?  I realize there  
may be other constraints that force this particular use of  
technologies, but if the SSH server is so dodgy that you have to have  
some facility to keep the session running, and you're using a mobile  
broadband connection anyway, it seems to me that IPSec would be much  
more reliable and secure.  If the data volume is substantial, IPSec  
will also be faster, since SSH2 has the stuck-sliding-window thing.
