15.11. Auto-reconnect

The auto-reconnect feature enables a Windows session to reestablish a network connection if it is unexpectedly disconnected.

When you are disconnected from a Window session, the uttsc command displays an icon on your screen, as shown in Figure 15.8, “Auto-reconnect Icon”.

By default, the uttsc command attempts to reconnect six times before ending the connection. You can control the number of reconnects through the -U number option of the uttsc command. Specifying -U 0 disables the auto-reconnect feature.

Note

You can also specify the -S option for auto-reconnect to detect network loss.
