SecureCRT drops all sessions

[dangerski]

I am new to OS X and found that SecureCRT is dropping all of my sessions after short periods of time. I can reliably reproduce the issue by shutting the lid of the laptop on my MacBook Pro, then reopening it. Other apps such as Terminal and iterm keep open ssh sessions but SecureCRT instantly closes all of them.

I am running OS X 10.7.4. I have tried SecureCRT 6.6 and 7.0.0 build 318.

I send a NOOP every 60 seconds and have tried sending anti-idle characters.

Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas on a fix?

Thanks, Scott

Hello Scott,

I believe there is a Global.ini file setting that can be changed that will prevent the disconnects. The Global.ini file is found in SecureCRT's configuration folder.

• Take note of SecureCRT's config location in Global Options / General category
  
  
• Close SecureCRT
  
  
• Edit the following entry in the Global.ini file:

D:"Disconnect After Resume Timeout"=00000000

to

D:"Disconnect After Resume Timeout"=FFFFFFFF

What are the results after making the above change?

Thank you Brenda, that worked.
