sshynergy

Run Synergy over SSH without setting up config files.

Status

It works, kinda. Finished my initial goals, but the code is horrible (see: Goals).

Quirks

Default setup is to use the current host and a host called _.

• Set it up via ~/.ssh/config (this shells out to ssh to parse it)
• Should point to your current machine's "default" neighbor.

Initial Goals

• Restart synergyc processes when screen sizes change (why I wrote this)
• Generate synergy.conf given a list of hosts
• Use ssh-agent
• Parse ~/.ssh/config to allow using shortnames
• Respawn sessions if connections die
• Respawn sessions when user chooses (hit <Ctrl-L>)

Goals

• Make it go get-able
• Better code (basically hacked together over a couple evenings)
  • Clearly I don't understand or am misusing channels
  • Better handling of restarting/orphaning processes (probably related)
• Move OpenSSH config parsing (by invoking ssh -G) to a library
