     1.4 +**autossh** is a program to start an instance of ssh and monitor it, 
     1.5 +restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic. The idea is 
     1.6 +from rstunnel (Reliable SSH Tunnel), but implemented in C. Connection 
     1.7 +monitoring is done using a loop of port forwardings. It backs off on the rate 
     1.8 +of connection attempts when experiencing rapid failures such as connection 
     1.9 +refused.
