I need an init script which will establish a reverse tunnel connection to a server. I've come up with the following start script:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
### END INIT INFO
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting autossh"
/usr/bin/autossh -M 22222 -o "PubkeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -i /path/to/my.key -R 9999:localhost:22 ubuntu@host
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down autossh"
/usr/bin/killall -KILL autossh
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 start"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
Which has one problem: It doesn't launch the process in the background, otherwise it works as expected. I have attempted to use the -f flag and altered the start) line to /usr/bin/autossh -f -M 22222 but that does not seem to work and I'm wondering why. What am I doing wrong, the man page says
-f' causes autossh to drop to the background before running ssh.
Which is what I need, is it not? Can anyone help me further?
