I am currently working with some SSH tunnels configured. Many times when I loose connection to the Internet or hibernate my laptop, I need to reconfigure the tunnels (i.e., do killall ssh and then set up the tunnels once again).
What is the best way to automate it?
Sounds like autossh (Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels) could be something for you: http://www.harding.motd.ca/autossh/
To keep tunnels alive, and to administrate them in general.
Should be on most distros base repos, so just use one of the following:
apt-get install autossh # deb pacman -S autossh # arch yum install autossh # rhel
