Tips and Tricks about SSH client

How to keep SSH connection alive

Example:

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 username@hostname

We also could update the SSH config file to keep alive for all connections.

# in file:
# - ~/.ssh/config
Host *
    ServerAliveInterval 60

We could also configure ~/.bash_profile for this:

alias ssh-qa-east="ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 <user>@<ip>"
