Re: [Nolug] multiple SSH sessions at once

If you just need a tunnel (ie, not a shell) - use the -N option for SSH.

#!/bin/sh
# connectssh-1.sh
while [1];
   do ssh -N -L ???:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:??? foo@shell.remote-host.org;
   sleep 10;
done

How you run these scripts is up to you-- a simple way would be to
create these ssh tunnelling scripts and run them from another script:

#!/bin/sh
connectssh-1.sh &
connectssh-2.sh &
connectssh-3.sh &
connectssh-4.sh &
