Hum, do this for me, would ya? |

(1) what happens when you run |
| 17 |
AUTOSSH_POLL=100 /usr/lib/autossh/autossh ..... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
(2) first cp /usr/bin/autossh to your home directory, |
| 20 |
and edit it to replace the line |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
exec /usr/lib/autossh/autossh "$@" |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
with |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
env | grep AUTOSSH |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then in your shell call ./autossh (just that, not options). |
| 29 |
What happens? |

If I remember correctly, shell environmental variables are supposed to |
| 34 |
be passed to child shells. So scripts are supposed to inherit those |
| 35 |
variables. So we are now trying to figure out whether it is the shell |
| 36 |
that is broken or it is the autossh binary that is broken. |

Q: "What is the best way to determine the volume of a little red ball." |
| 43 |
Physicist: Measure the diameter, devide by two for radius and use the |
| 44 |
formula 4/3 * PI * radius ^ 3 |
| 45 |
Chemist: Take a beaker, fill it with water. Dunk the ball in it, and |
| 46 |
measure the amount of water displaced. |
| 47 |
Engineer: It's easy, just pull out the "Little Red Ball" book and look it up. |
