SSH_UNEXPECTED_TERMINATION:Unexpected termination: Socket closed

[AFI HP-UX ADMIN]

I am trying to create new command line tool (SIM 5.0) to do some tasks on managed servers. For some it works great. However, if the task takes longer than 30 seconds to complete, it fails with an ssh error:

Ssh Operation failed for node: server_name SSH_UNEXPECTED_TERMINATION:Unexpected termination: Socket closed

Is there a timeout value somewhere for ssh that's causing this behavior?

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of but I don't run HP-UX which I'm guessing could be the client. You could test by just connecting with a SSH client and leaving it open and seeing what happens.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes this is an HP-UX server to HP-UX server thing. A normal ssh works just fine...no disconnect.

I also see that if the command that I use has regular output, it does not disconnect. Only if it takes more than 30 seconds to have any output. Then it drops the connection.

Any other ideas out there?

It turns out a change to the sshd_config makes this error go away:

These are the settings I use but may not be right for you:

ClientAliveInterval 10
ClientAliveCountMax 3

Then restart ssh and you are good to go...
