mosh is awesome
I occasionally came across mosh yesterday, and try it today, and found it
really awesome. It does what it promised
to keeps the session alive if the client goes to sleep and wakes up later,
or temporarily loses its Internet connection.
that is power enough to draw your mind and it also supports roaming
Mosh allows the client and server to “roam” and change IP addresses,
while keeping the connection alive.
I just get a chance to try that cool feature some days ago. My wired network accidentally
losted, and my wireless connection took in charge a few seconds later, and as wireless got
connected, my mosh tunnel reestablished.
If you see a log mosh requires a UTF-8 locale
when running mosh, it means
there is something wrong with your ssh config. try this:1
mosh --server="LANG=$LANG mosh-server" user@ip [your cmd]
or FYI, see this issue
If you ever use tmux or gnu screen, here comes the power1
mosh sonald@remote-server tmux attach-session
This saves me a lot of trouble.
