SSH timeout

[fishface]

I was running 6.2.4, and running a ssh session as root to run xfs defrag in verbose mode, worked great and the session stayed open for at least 10hrs or more.

Today I upgraded to 6.5.3. ssh'd in, kicked of my next defrag and at some point it closed the ssh session, so where is the best place to change the idle time out? sshd_config or is there a shell environment variable set?

 First few lines of sshd -T

I guess in 6.2.4 it wasn't set.

port 22
addressfamily any
listenaddress [::]:22
listenaddress 0.0.0.0:22
logingracetime 120
x11displayoffset 10
maxauthtries 6
maxsessions 10
clientaliveinterval 0
clientalivecountmax 3
streamlocalbindmask 0177
permitrootlogin yes
ignorerhosts yes

Will the following work

 

clientaliveinterval 86400
clientalivecountmax 3

For long-running commands, you should install 'screen' from the Nerd Pack.

You can google "unraid screen" for more details on how people use it, but this is a good start:

Thanks, I'll do that.
