I ssh from my Cygwin box to a Linux machine (happens with Solaris
machines too) and I can run X applications back to Cygwin/X without a
problem. However, after a few minutes something happens to the tunnel
and I can no longer put up any X windows:
$ cat checks.sh
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
date
xclock &
sleep 2
killall xclock
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
echo Cannot talk to X Server anymore
else
sleep 60
fi
done
$ checkx.sh

X connection to localhost:15.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
xclock: no process killed
Cannot talk to X Server anymore
After this I cannot re-establish an X connection until I exit the ssh
session and ssh back in again. Any ideas?
(I'm gonna post this to both Cygwin and Cygwin-X as I'm not sure if this
is a problem with ssh or a problem with X).
