NAME
App::assh - A wrapper around autossh.
VERSION
version 1.1.1
SYNOPSIS
A wrapper around autossh.
MOTIVATION
`autossh` is a nifty little ssh-keepalive-connection-holder.
Passing in the ports for the keepalive can be clumsy though: `assh`
helps you to avoid that.
USAGE
assh
assh HOSTNAME
REQUIREMENTS
First, you will need a file `~/.ssh/config`. It looks something like
this:
Host foo
HostName bar.example.com
User baz
With this, you can already leverage standard `ssh` connections:
ssh foo
... instead of
ssh baz@bar.example.com
Next, generate a file `~/.autossh_rc` with the following format:
foo 12345
... with the first entry on the line representing your `Host` in
`~/.ssh/config` and the second item on the line being the port over
which to keep the autossh connection alive.
Now you can permanently connect using:
assh foo
... with the connection kept alive across network switches and computer
shutdowns.
ATTRIBUTES
* hosts: HashRef holding the values HOSTNAME => AUTOSSH_PORT
* ports: HashRef holding the values HOSTNAME => "USER => USERNAME,
HOST => HOSTNAME"
* ssh_config_file: The path to the ssh config file. Default:
`~/.ssh/config`
* ports_config_file: The path to the ports config (this is what I have
chosen): `~/.autossh_rc`
