NAME

       mosh-server - server-side helper for mosh

SYNOPSIS

       mosh-server new [-s] [-v] [-i IP] [-p PORT[:PORT2]] [-c COLORS] [-- command...]

DESCRIPTION

       mosh-server is a helper program for the mosh(1) remote terminal application.

       mosh-server binds to a high UDP port and chooses an encryption key to protect the session.
       It prints both on standard output, detaches from the terminal, and  waits  for  the  mosh-
       client  to  establish  a  connection. It will exit if no client has contacted it within 60
       seconds.

       By default, mosh-server binds to a port between 60000 and 61000 and  executes  the  user's
       login shell.

       On platforms with utempter, mosh-server maintains an entry in the utmp(5) file to indicate
       its process ID, whether the session is connected, and the client's current IP address.

       mosh-server exits when the client terminates the connection.

OPTIONS

       The argument "new" must be first on the command line to use command-line options.

       -s     bind to the local interface used for an  incoming  SSH  connection,  given  in  the
              SSH_CONNECTION environment variable (for multihomed hosts)

       -v     Print some debugging information even after detaching.

       -i IP  IP address of the local interface to bind (for multihomed hosts)

       -p PORT[:PORT2]
              UDP port number or port-range to bind

       -c COLORS
              Number of colors to advertise to applications through TERM (e.g. 8, 256)

       -l NAME=VALUE
              Locale-related  environment  variable  to try as part of a fallback environment, if
              the startup environment does not specify a character set of UTF-8.
