Hi, in some cases when I'm connected to an ssh box, after some time de connection gets stuck (for exemple if the firewall detects some time of inactivity). A restart session button would be very welcome. I am not looking for a Keepalive tool, but more of a solution for not having to close the terminal an open a new one and reenter the connection details

There is a timeout option you can set to automatically send an alive signal.

Code: Select all

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60

If your connection breaks, you have to reconnect as you are not looking for a "keepalive tool" like autossh which automatically reconnects on broken connections.
To avoid entering credentials, there are some other tools like ssh-agent for public key, the ssh config file, ...
