The option -o ServerAliveInterval=60 tells the SSH agent to keep sending “pings” to keep the connection alive.
Example below.
ssh -v -o ServerAliveInterval=60 myname@myhost.com
Alternatively you can add it the your ssh config file for all hosts:
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 60
I'm a technology professional who's been passionate about computers since my Grandad introduced me to an Intel 386 back in the 90s when I was a kid. Those moments inspired a passion within for technology, and I've been playing around with anything with a circuit board ever since. Whenever I have a moment you can probably find me working on something computer-related, and this is where I like to write about those moments.
