Re:Ask HN: moving beyond screen to persist SSH sessions? by jerf on Tuesday February 10, 2009 @09:51AM (#475196)
I think you may be constraining the solution down into impossibility. When you lose the network, you will lose the SSH sessions. Period. TCP will guarantee that. (Although not at "one second".) That's part of TCP's point.

The best you can hope for is either to set some stuff up as described so SSH automatically relogins to a screen session, or find a better network connection. Fundamentally, you can't patch around a bad network connection.

Hmm, I think I just mis-stated my problem as being more difficult than it really is. I posted an example to the question for clarification.
