Re: start ssh port forwarding at boot time

I try to start port forwarding shortly after boot by using cygrunsrv.

$ cygrunsrv -Q forward5729
Service             : forward5729
Current State       : Stopped
Command             : /usr/bin/ssh -v -f -2 -N -L 5729:localhost:5729 user@myhost.tld

What should I do?

Run the service as your user so it can use your keys :


  -u, --user <user name>    Optional user name to start service as.
                            Defaults to SYSTEM account.
  -w, --passwd <password>   Optional password for user. Only needed
                            if a user is given. If a user has an empty
                            password, enter `-w '. If a user is given but
                            no password, cygrunsrv will ask for a password
                            interactively.
