ssh tunnel as service

Danielite · 10-14-2007, 08:41 AM

Hi
I got a virtual server at hosteurope.de with plesk

i need it to run a ssh tunnel to connect to a mysql server, on another server i am running.

so i type
ssh -L 7777:localhost:3306 -l root <ipaddress>
and it works fine

but when i close the ssh console the connection to the server closes too
and i need it to run all the time

how can i do that?

Use "screen" to run apps that can't be daemonised. Could use "autossh" for tunneling multiple SSH connections.
