I object to the 'can not' part a bit. There is (1) the terminal state prediction and (2) the reliable-over-reconnects communication, and for a noninteractive usage you'd need only (2). Once upon a time I implemented a simple UDP server and client; the client to be used as a ProxyCommand in ssh, and the server just talks to the local ssh server. This pretty much does what the OP wants, and it works just as a transport for ssh, so all ssh features are there (but of course there is no terminal prediction). Unfortunately it needs to be ported to libev/libuv before it could be released. It's *much* simpler than mosh, although the use-ssh-to-start-server trick would be nice.) Andreas -- "Totally trivial.
