This tool hasn’t been around for too long, but long enough to make it into quite a few distros. It looks like it’s a good alternative to autossh and tmux which I have been using for the past few years. Like many new tools like this, if it’s not around everywhere it’s not as useful as it could be.
The only minor criticism of the application is that the mosh command itself is written in perl, it would be nicer if the wrapper command would be written in C/C++ like the rest of the application. It would certainly make it more portable. I guess I should shut up or write my own mosh wrapper replacement.
Other than that, I’ve got it installed on one or two machines and it seems nice enough so far. I now need to test it out in the field on a bad connection when I’m away at a team meeting. I’m still not entirely sure of how good or bad it is in terms of security compared to SSH.
