DESCRIPTION

ereshkigal is an autossh tunnel monitor. It gives a user interface to monitor existing SSH tunnel that are managed with autossh.

It can print the current state of your tunnels or display them in an interactive text-based interface.

ereshkigal is released under the GNU Public License v3.

INSTALLATION

ereshkigal targets Linux operating systems, and depends on:

• autossh (which needs OpenSSH, obviously)
• python ≥ 2.4

OPTIONS

Called without option,ereshkigal will print the current state of the autossh tunnels and exit.

• -h, --help: Show a help message and exit

• -c, --curses: Start the interactive user interface. Tunnels states will be updated regularly and you will be able to control them (see below).

• -n, --connections: Display only SSH connections related to a tunnel. This feature is only available as root, because it needs system permissions.

• -a, --autossh: Only display the list of autossh processes.

• -l LEVEL, --log-level LEVEL: Control the verbosity of the logging, the greater, the more verbose. Available log levels are: error < warning < debug. Defaults to error, which only prints unrecoverable problems.

• -f FILE, --log-file FILE: Log messages are written to the given FILE. Useful to debug the interactive interface. If not set, asking for the curses interface automatically set logging to the "ereshkigal.log" file.

• R: Reload the selected autossh instance (i.e. send a SIGUSR1, which is interpreted as a reload command by autossh).
• K: Kill the selected autossh instance (i.e. send a SIGKILL).
