[ITP] autossh-1.2g-1

[Schulman.Andrew@epamail.epa.gov]

I want to package and maintain autossh for cygwin.  autossh is a program
to start an instance of ssh and monitor it, restarting it as necessary
should it die or stop passing traffic.

autossh version 1.2g is in testing now.  This version adds support for
cygwin.  As soon as it's released I'll package and upload it.

setup.hint:
sdesc: "Automatically restart SSH sessions and tunnels"
ldesc: "autossh is a program to start an instance of ssh and monitor it,
restarting
it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.  autossh monitors
connections by sending data through a loop of port forwardings, and
seeing
if it returns.  autossh backs off on the rate of connection attempts
when
experiencing rapid failures such as connection refused.  It includes an
NT
service mode, which works well when installed as an NT system service
under
cygrunsrv."
