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.
