I have data on a remote mySQL server that to edit, I have to SSH port
forward to.
On Windows boxes, I use Cygwin to achieve this, by running:
ssh -L 3306:mysqlserver:3306 -N [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Obviously then prompted for a password.
This works fine, except that once connected, if there's no communication
with the mysql server for a certain period of time (sometimes < 5
minutes, other times > 20 mins) the connection drops.
Is there a way, from within the same batch script used to make the SSH
connection, to send a packet of data, or something similar, every minute
so that the connection will be kept alive?
This can be infuriating if writing a long query or entering data!
Many thanks,
Ed Ludlow
