How long to keep the ssh connection open is configurable in the globalsettings.prop. The default value is 1 hour.

Managers of those systems have complained that there appears to be SSH connections coming from the CMS that never close. I have looked at this and sure enough if a tool (custom or not) is launched and an SSH connection is opened it never seems to get shutdown.<BR /><BR />Is mxdtf meant to close idle SSH connections? Is there some way the tool(s) can force close the connection when they exit?
