General Questions • Re: [Software] How to keep SSH session alive?

I run the rsync with -P because I like to see the progress so I know when it is done before I shut the server off. What happens is, after a couple of hours, my server shuts off the connection to the terminal on my client due to "inactivity" and I no longer see any progress. Oh and I am not syncing from client to server, I am backing up files from a USB stick on the server to its RAID (find it faster than sending it over the network). If you are sending files over the network that will keep it alive no problem!

I doubt it is faster method than using the one that works and will complete the operation rather than shut the machine down doing it the other way. Then you need to fire it up some time later and do it all again. Your description of the problem here has nothing to do with ssh and no amount of configuration settings will change that. Your machine has for some reason decided it will not run properly when it shuts itself down, my pi which I just updated today with the new point release had been running since the last time the kernel was upgraded and required a reboot, according to the date on the files in /boot that was May 3 roughly fifty-eight days ago.

This shutting down without be told to do so is the problem you have, in my experience the machine I have is perfectly fine sitting there for weeks on end doing next to nothing and just keeps running. And has done so since I bought it close to three years ago this behavior has never changed the same with all my servers, if they are not told to shutdown they continue to run doing next to nothing until told to turn off. Now I look at the updated initrd on the May 11 I cannot remember if I rebooted when that happened but probably did as that is required to have it use the new file for the boot and not be using the old so would have done it.
