Hi,

I have a little script (on a Suse 10.1 server) that creates a ssh tunnel to
connect a MySql slave server with it's master.

The script does something like this:

while true; do
   ssh -oBatchMode=yes -L 33306:127.0.0.1:3306 -N root@someserver >>$LOG
2>&1
   sleep 30
done

The loop is to re-establish the connection when the netwerk connection goes
down for some reason.

This works ok, but when I run this script on a remote shell the script gets
killed when I close the shell. So should I make a script in /etc/init.d to
make
this a more permanent solution, or is there a better way? And I also have
the
feeling the loop isn't the best solution for the problem? ;)
