ssh sessions in xterms freeze for many minutes whenever they disconnect
- by dreeves
If I ssh to a remote machine and then lose internet connectivity, the session freezes.
I can't control-c or otherwise abort and go back to my local xterm or terminal prompt but if I wait several minutes it will do so.
There must be some way to force it to abort the remote ssh session when connectivity is lost.
I'm on a Mac but I believe this happens on cygwin or linux as well.
