I have never believed nor claimed that it was thus
"supposed" to be anything of the sort. I framed a query
about it, and various subscribers read into that what
they wished.
(Also sysctl is a completely unrelated tool to
configure kernel parameters; the systemd utility is
systemctl.)
Ah. My bad. Thank you.
However if you configure your ssh tunnel as a
service that systemd manages, then you can query
systemd about its state via systemctl or directly
via systemd's DBus interface:
Is the service running?
systemctl is-active my-tunnel
What is the services main process' PID?
systemctl -pMainPID show my-tunnel
Thank you.
Note that there is also a per-user instance of
systemd to allow regular users to use systemd to
manage their own services if they choose to do so.
Not everything has to be a system service.
Thank you again. How I love simple facts.
I have suspected all along that my destination was
very likely configuring my tunnel via systemd, and
perhaps even building in thereby some stay-alive
capacity for said tunnel.
