Reconnect a timed-out session

Question

Hi everbody,

When I do an ssh connection, after a while, the connection time-out and my term freeze.

I know Enter + ~ + . to unfreeze it. But is there another key sequence to reconnect instead ?

Thanks

You can add the following to your ~/.ssh/config file:

Host *
  ServerAliveInterval 60

This will make the client send a signal to the server every minute to tell it that it is alive, so the server won't close the connection.
