SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol extensively used for secure remote operations in a range of professional and personal environments. Sometimes, maintaining a persistent SSH connection is crucial, especially when connectivity issues like network instability or random disconnections occur. That’s where autossh comes in handy. Autossh is a simple program designed to start, monitor, and restart SSH sessions automatically when they crash or are inadvertently stopped. This functionality makes autossh particularly beneficial for maintaining persistent tunnels or keeping a session active indefinitely.
