18.10. 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 Windows connector displays an icon on your screen, as shown in Figure 18.9, “Auto-reconnect Icon”.

By default, the Windows connector 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 use the -S timeout option, in seconds, to specify the interval for auto-reconnect to detect network loss.
