On a related note, if you want to keep the connections open and get reconnected automatically on disconnection, try this autossh http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/ So I have something like autossh -f -N -R 2222:localhost:22 home -S "none" at my work machine(put into startup script), so I can always get back to the work machine from home.
