Autossh - Monitors and automatically reestablishes SSH connections
Autossh is a program to monitor and automatically
reestablish SSH connections. It is similar to rstunnel (Reliable SSH
Tunnel), but is easier to set up and use, especially for connections
to multiple hosts. The program monitors connections by using a loop of
port forwardings, and will back off on the rate of connection attempts
when experiencing rapid failures (such as connection refused).
