Avoids ssh timeouts by sending a keep alive message to the server every 60 seconds

ssh_config is the system-wide configuration file for ssh. For per-user configuration, which allows for different settings for each host: echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/.ssh/ssh_config On OSX: echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/.ssh/config or echo 'ServerAliveInterval 60' >> ~/etc/ssh_config

Execute a command with a timeout

A timeout is great, but what if the command is taking longer than expected because it's hung up or ran into some other problem? That's where the -k option comes in. Run "some_command" and timeout after 30s. If the command is still running after 1 minute, it will receive a kill signal.

Logout ssh user automatically after specified time

This will check if a user is logged in using ssh and will log out the user automatically after the specified time in seconds without data retrieval on the server side. Will work with bash and zsh so put it into your sourced shell file on the server side. Be aware that users can change this themselves as it's just a envoronment variable. Show Sample Output

The -W switch of netstat makes it print complete URL of the connections, which otherwise by default is truncated to fit its default column size.

The only downside to this part is that the very first row, the header, goes pear shape.
