ldesc: "autossh is a program to start an instance of ssh and monitor it,
restarting it as necessary should it die or stop passing traffic.
autossh monitors connections by sending data through a loop of port
forwardings, and checking that the data returns.  autossh backs off on
the rate of connection attempts when experiencing rapid failures such as
connection refused.  It includes an NT service mode, which works well
for unattended operation as an NT system service using cygrunsrv."
