Hi, I'm used to using putty on windows. In order to keep my connections alive I have to set it to send a null ever 20 seconds, this stops my NAT ADSL router from dropping the connection. In ssh from the commandline on my SuSe box I can't find an option to do this, so the connections get dropped within 10 minutes. Is there such an option?
Regards, Dave,
man ssh and see if you find such a thing. I doubt it.
But I'll bet that between ping and cron you could come up with something.
Ping and cron are unnecessary. See "man sshd_config" and "man ssh_config" and look for KeepAlives and ClientAliveInterval, etc. It works fine for me. Jim
