I'll chime in to say I've had a similar problem related to the shell and I couldn't sort out how to address it.
Our database servers will drop connections that last longer than 10 minutes. So basically can never do a task I might otherwise use the shell for that would take longer than 10 minutes of typing things in the shell. The workaround I eventually arrived at was copying all the data I pulled from previous runs into a doc in my text editor, and restart the shell every time the database connection dropped. Eventually I was able to just copy and paste enough stuff from that doc to get everything done in the 10 minute limit. Is there a way (e.g. the DatabaseWrapper mentioned above) to get the shell to reconnect without stopping the shell and restarting from scratch every time?
