Package: autossh Version: 1.2g-3 Severity: normal If there are two autossh from different hosts to one destination, the second one will restart connection every 10 minutes pretending to have timeout. If I run autossh without -f flag, I get an error message:
autossh -g4N -L 8080:10.17.10.1:80 xxx.xxx.com Warning: remote port forwarding failed for listen port 21021 It is good, but if I run autossh with -f key from init script, ssh warning goes to /dev/null, with hardly understandable log messages: Feb 2 22:53:15 serv autossh[8407]: starting ssh (count 2) Feb 2 22:53:15 serv autossh[8407]: ssh child pid is 8489 Feb 2 23:03:29 serv autossh[8407]: timeout polling to accept read connection Feb 2 23:03:29 serv autossh[8407]: port down, restarting ssh Feb 2 23:03:29 serv autossh[8407]: starting ssh (count 3) Feb 2 23:03:29 serv autossh[8407]: ssh child pid is 8591 The real reason of timeout is busy port on the remote end of tunnel, but it took me for an hour to find the problem. It will be very useful to get ssh stderr output into autossh log. I've checked autossh-1.3 as well as 1.2g.
