Package: autossh Version: 1.3-4 Severity: wishlist It would be nice if autossh could be made to ignore initial problems starting the ssh tunnel. Just as it can cope when there are problems after it has been started, for some uses, it's also not necessary to tell the user and halt if there are problems when it's started up. Here's an example application: I run autossh permanently to provide a tunnel to my SMTP server. autossh runs when I log in, and currently quits if I'm not online when I log in; however, there's no reason why I should be online then. If I go offline while autossh is running it happily continues to run, which is exactly what I want: if I try to send email, I get an error, which is fine.
