Subject: Killing a hung ssh process in a TRAMP session
Date: Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:24:31 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B458C2F.9010709@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi everyone,
I have a small problem. I usually have to develop code remotely.
(usually across the Atlantic :) ) The connection is not always very
stable. Whenever there are any network problems, TRAMP keeps trying to
reconnect to the remote machine.
My problem is whenever TRAMP is trying to reconnect, the whole emacs
session hangs. The only way out of this situation is to wait for the
connection to be established (not always practical as often it might
take over 10 mins for the network to be back to normal) or kill emacs
with `kill -9'. And since I usually run emacs in server mode, this means
loosing a really complicated session with lots of buffers on several
remote machines.
Is there any way I could tell emacs not to reconnect when this happens?
I tried running `ps uf -u `whoami`' and kill the shell running the hung
ssh process. But that only re-spawns the process again.
Is there anyway around this? Hopefully I have explained my predicament
clearly. Thanks for any advice on this.
