I typically have several terminal windows each of which is connected via ssh to a remote server. In each window I work using the gnu screen program, to ensure persistence of the interactive processes in case of a disconnection.
Currently, whenever the ssh connection drops (such as when I put my client computer to sleep overnight) I have to manually and tediously restart the ssh session inside each window, and then in each window tediously resume the specific screen session (e.g. "screen -r 3453" in one window, "screen -r 3462" in the other etc.)
Is there an elegant way to automate this? Specifically:
reconnect the ssh session if it drops, as soon as an Internet connection is detected
run the specific screen instance for the terminal window as soon as ssh reconnects
Thanks for any tips on this
Thanks! What exactly is the "-o BatchMode=yes" for? – GJ. – 2010-09-15T11:17:12.887
It will allow you to not prompt for the password. From 'man ssh_config': "passphrase/password querying will be disabled. This option is useful in scripts and other batch jobs where no user is present to supply the password." So only use it if you have ssh-keys already setup. – Jason Axelson – 2010-09-20T03:11:42.163
