Shell tips: ssh+screen

Our ISP connections usually  suffer cuts randomly, leaving ssh sessions open until timeout happens. I used to launch screen at first command, but sometimes I forget them, and  ended with multiple ssh or screen sessions over the same  boxes.

So, I decide that *nix must  work for me.

Put it on ~/.bashrc and source it.

ssh ()
{
    if [[ "$2" == "" ]]; then
        command ssh "$1" -X screen -aAdr -RR  "SSH+SCREEN"  /bin/bash;
    else
        command ssh $@;
    fi
}

When you fire an ssh connection without arguments, it try to reattach a session named "SSH+SCREEN". If the session exist, simply resume it. If the session doesn't exist, it launchs /bin/bash.


Simply, but elegant trick.

But.. What happens ssh has an argument?
Simply skips session reattachment and launch command on remote host.
