Check existing sessions first ssh_session_list # 2. Reuse existing session if available and still active ssh_session_send session="existing-id" command="..." # 3. Start new session only if necessary ssh_session_start server="{hostname}" name="{task-name}" # 4. ALWAYS close when done ssh_session_close session="{session-id}" ### Timeout Considerations SSH server may close idle sessions (typically 3-5 minutes by default) Configure ClientAliveInterval on server for longer keepalive For long-running tasks, consider periodic lightweight commands to keepalive If session becomes unresponsive, create a new one ### Before SSH Operations Check existing sessions ssh_session_list Check recent workdir ls ~/.ssh-workdir/{hostname}/ Create new workdir if starting new task mkdir -p ~/.ssh-workdir/{hostname}/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{topic}/output ### During SSH Operations Use appropriate tool for the task Single command: ssh_execute Multi-step: ssh_session_start → ssh_session_send → ssh_session_close File transfer: ssh_upload/download/sync Monitoring: ssh_monitor, ssh_tail, ssh_health_check Log commands to workdir echo "command" >> ~/.ssh-workdir/{hostname}/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{topic}/commands.md Save important outputs ssh_execute server="{hostname}" command="df -h" > ~/.ssh-workdir/{hostname}/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{topic}/output/df-h.txt ### After SSH Operations Close sessions ssh_session_close session="{session-id}" Write summary echo '## Findings' >> ~/.ssh-workdir/{hostname}/{YYYY-MM-DD}-{topic}/summary.md Clean up Close tunnels: ssh_tunnel_close Verify all sessions closed: ssh_session_list ### Tips Use ssh_session_list before starting new tasks to reuse existing sessions Create workdir for each task to maintain organized history Write summaries to quickly recall previous work Use ssh_connection_status action="status" to check connection health For server comparison, store outputs with consistent naming across hosts Close sessions when done to free resources Configure server-side ClientAliveInterval for longer session timeouts if needed ### Reference Files references/sessions.md - Session management deep dive references/workspace.md - Workdir structure and usage references/comparison.md - How to compare historical data ### Example Files examples/system-check.md - Complete system health check workflow examples/deployment.md - Multi-step deployment example examples/troubleshooting.md - Problem diagnosis workflow ### Scripts scripts/create-workdir.sh - Create new workdir structure scripts/log-command.sh - Log command to workdir scripts/save-status.sh - Capture and save host status ## Trust - Source: tencent - Verification: Indexed source record - Publisher: iMaxTomas - Version: 0.1.1 ## Source health - Status: healthy - Item download looks usable. - Yavira can redirect you to the upstream package for this item. - Health scope: item - Reason: direct_download_ok - Checked at: 2026-05-05T04:46:40.438Z - Expires at: 2026-05-12T04:46:40.438Z - Recommended action: Download for OpenClaw ## Links - [Detail page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/mcp-ssh-manager) - [Send to Agent page](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/mcp-ssh-manager/agent) - [JSON manifest](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/mcp-ssh-manager/agent.json) - [Markdown brief](https://openagent3.xyz/skills/mcp-ssh-manager/agent.md) - [Download page](https://openagent3.xyz/downloads/mcp-ssh-manager)
