ssh timeout

[Hearn, Stan J.]

check out man ssh_config and look at the ConnectionTimeout option.

I have found that if I background the process I don't have to worry about the stragglers.

for H in `cat my-system.lst`
do
   ssh $H uptime > $H.uptime &
done

Subject: ssh timeout

HI

I am running script using ssh to capture load of some parameters of remote machine.
But if one of machine is down script does not go forward and will be waiting for to come up and complete ssh connections.
I would like to set some time out in which case if machine does not response it should time out on ssh and proceed for next steps.

Please help me with this settings
