What's the best way to automatically reconnect an interactive SSH session to re-establish the shells on terminals? I looked at autossh but that seems to be dedicated to port forwards (which I do not need).
Is there any shell-fu or utility that allows that?
Actually, autossh will do the same for interactive sessions as well - you may want to run the remote session in screen to keep it up across reconnects:
autossh -t you@somehost.example.com 'screen -R'
As autossh accepts the parameters that ssh does, the -t option will force a terminal (which is needed for an interactive session), and screen -R will preserve your shell across reconnects.
Perhaps: while true; do ssh user@host; done ??
Helps to run screen on the remote host to be able to pick up exactly where you left off.
