Autossh is a program to monitor and automatically
reestablish SSH connections. It is similar to
rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel), however, it is
implemented in C, and is easier to set up and use,
especially for connections to multiple hosts.
Autossh has been compiled and tested on
OpenBSD, Linux, and Solaris, and should run
without needing changes on FreeBSD and NetBSD.
