[Dhirendra Singh]

I am using telnet/rlogin/ssh to login to a remote machine.
if connection is idle for sometime remote machine disconnect the
connection and i have to login again.
is there anyway to avoid this disconnection ?

Your telnet/SSH client should have a setting to send a NO-OP every
minute or so to keep the session open.

Beyond that, you'll have to tell us which version of Unix/Linux/BSD etc.
the servers are using to give you server settings to change.

Is there any option in ssh to send no-op to remote machine ?
I went through the man page but did not find any thing interesting.
Unix version is HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64

Thanks,
Dhirendra.

I'm not familiar with that version of HP-UX, the last one I actively
worked on was 9.0.

But what are you using to access the Unix system? If it's a window or
linux terminal emulator program like SCRT, Tiny Term, Anzio, PowerTerm
etc. There may be a NO-OP option in their respective setups.
