openssh unix dev - Oct 2023 - Software to run ssh tunnels as services on Linux/BSD ?

Hi,


I need to run ssh client(s) as services on BSD.


The service should:

* start the ssh tunnel under a proper user when the system starts

* restart it when the tunnel breaks

* use proper ssh keys and configurations for connections


Does such software exist?



Thanks,

Yuri

That sounds (at least partly) like AutoSSH.  In the past I've also
used inetd to invoke "ssh -W" or the equivalent thereof to bring up
tunnels on demand.
