Re: ssh dying constantly

2008-12-14 Thread Alexander Kappner
Have you tried different interfaces (WLAN, Ethernet-over-USB...)? If so,
does the problem occur regardless of the interface in question? If not,
which interface are you using right now?
Of course, you can always use the nohup command to prevent apt from dying
with the ssh connection.

Best regards
Alexander

Subject: ssh dying constantly


i got this issue with 2007.2 back then and with debian now, both with
 dropbear and fullblown openssh, so i suppose it's not a distribution
 specific one.
 after working a while via ssh, suddenly ssh freezes . obviously task
 started end, but i can't do anything but killing the ssh client from my
 host computer (which is not the easiest since it's hard to distinguish
 which of the different clients it is).

 it happens frequently when doing opkg (with 2007) or dpkg/apt taks, eg
 while updating the percent counter suddenly stops and that's it.

 i do not have the slightest idea what may cause that annoying behaviour
 and thus no point to start from searching a resolution.

 any hints?

RET ~ .

will kill your client (see man ssh for escape sequences).

Try netstat -tp (on the host computer) to find the right PID to kill.

i have several ssh connections to the fr open -- just because they so  
prone to freeze.
netstat does not give more information than ps. it's near to impossible to  
determine which of the two, three, ... ssh connections to the fr just  
froze.

Well, if you have multiple ssh connections and one of them freezes, what
prevents you from using one of the remaining sessions to find out, which  is
the frozen one? The command is very similar to the above. And yes, netstat
gives you a very visible hint.
