MOSH(1)MOSH(1)NAMEmosh-server - server-side helper for mosh
SYNOPSISmosh-server new [-s] [-v] [-i IP] [-p PORT[:PORT2]] [-c COLORS] [--
command...]
DESCRIPTIONmosh-server is a helper program for the mosh(1) remote terminal appli‐
cation.
mosh-server binds to a high UDP port and chooses an encryption key to
protect the session. It prints both on standard output, detaches from
the terminal, and waits for the mosh-client to establish a connection.
It will exit if no client has contacted it within 60 seconds.
By default, mosh-server binds to a port between 60000 and 61000 and
executes the user's login shell.
On platforms with utempter, mosh-server maintains an entry in the
utmp(5) file to indicate its process ID, whether the session is con‐
nected, and the client's current IP address.
mosh-server exits when the client terminates the connection.
OPTIONS
The argument "new" must be first on the command line to use command-
line options.
-s bind to the local interface used for an incoming SSH connection,
given in the SSH_CONNECTION environment variable (for multihomed
hosts)
-v Print some debugging information even after detaching.
-i IP IP address of the local interface to bind (for multihomed hosts)
-p PORT[:PORT2]
UDP port number or port-range to bind
-c COLORS
Number of colors to advertise to applications through TERM (e.g.
8, 256)
-l NAME=VALUE
Locale-related environment variable to try as part of a fallback
environment, if the startup environment does not specify a char‐
acter set of UTF-8.
