11/11 I posted several days ago about Soda dropping me about an hour of
inactivity while using TTSSH. I found that PuTTY actually has
"sending null packet to keep session alive" option builtin. This
option works for me. BTW, John's original suggestion of
'spinner' didn't quite work. It keeps randomly dieing due to
"unable to open TTY for writing."
\_ Weird, I've never gotten that. Spinner is a bit of a PITA as it
doesn't get along with most scrollbars. If I can, I usually do
the X forwarding/xclock thing, it leaves your tty alone. -John |
