Is there a way to pause mosh in a Cygwin installation?

I think it's causing an excessive battery drain for my AndroidAP phone, since it's designed to be sending packets every 3 seconds, which is not very helpful when the mosh window is minimised and not used for hours on end.

You can check out and use the lowbandwidth branch of mosh, which will have 2 significant changes:

  1. Change the acknowledgement interval from 3 seconds to 60 seconds
  2. Tweak other settings so that 3 packets are sent per keystroke, instead of 4 packets.

Refer to this mailing list posting for more information.

Don't forget that the SSH server keep-alive settings, for example

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 -o ServerAliveCountMax=3
