[SOLVED] autossh log file

aristosv · 02-11-2015, 11:30 PM

I am using autossh to monitor a reverse ssh tunnel. I need to be able to see the status of autossh and what its doing. So I was looking for the location of its log file but I don't know where to find it.

I read that there's a variable called "AUTOSSH_LOGFILE" but I don't know where to use it.

Can anyone help me out with this?

The autossh man page says that is an environment variable, so you should set it in your shell. Eg in your ~/.bashrc add the line

Code:

export AUTOSSH_LOGFILE="$HOME/autossh.log"
