Plugin does not reconnect

[schw4rzlicht]

Hey there!

When e.g. rebooting a remote device, the SSH connection is not re-established. Would be good if that'd be the case. Our use-case is to reboot headless media servers in a show environment from another headless server that has Companion running.

Thanks!

Looking for answer to this as well, comparable use case, anyone one actively supporting this module? Just asking, since this issue was posted some time ago.

I will try my best to get to this within the next several days. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you very much for addressing this request. Always appreciate when modules are supported!

In release v1.3.0 (https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-generic-ssh/releases/tag/v1.3.0) I have added a re-connect feature that will attempt to reconnect SSH every second if it loses connection by receiving a TCP reset from the server, or fails to connect to the server. This build should be included in the betas in the near future, and eventually the stable version.

I will close this issue now that I have created the release with the fix. If you still have trouble, feel free to comment here.

Yeah, will let you know. Thanks again, I know time is limited, but just the same, appreciate you supporting the module. Just had a thought... maybe in the future... make this reconnect a configurable option? Meaning it can be toggled on or off? Just was thinking about possible use cases. Or it already is per your update?

Right now, it's not a configurable option to reconnect. I'm curious what a use case would be for that. I am all ears on suggestions.

Thanks!
