Bash script to setup SSH Port Forwarding Perfect for creating Bash/ZSH/*SH aliases around Usage: ssh-port-forward <forward_name> <local_port> <forwarded_host> <forwarded_port> <ssh_host> ssh-port-forward options -b <forward_name> Opens the specified forward in the default browser -h Prints this help message -k <forward_name> Closes the forward by the specified name -l Lists all currently forwarded ports ssh options -i <identity_file> Specify ssh keyfile to use for authentication -p <ssh_port> Specify a port that the ssh server is running on Browser options -s Specify whether to use SSL/TLS when opening in the browser -t Silent Mode: Does not open the link in the browser When run, creates a $FORWARD_NAME-ssh.run file in /var/run/user/$UID/ssh-port-forward/ which contains the PID of ssh, the local port, remote host, and remote port. If /var/run/user/$UID/ does not exist, script will exit 1 Features to add: - Saving of PID to allow easy exiting (with a --exit or --kill flag) [x] Added - Add configurable temp directory Thanks to: - https://ryanstutorials.net/bash-scripting-tutorial/bash-functions.php for showing me the syntax for functions (and making quips about their use of paraenthesis) - http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/complexfunct.html for bash function tips - http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/fto.html for testing file / folder / socket existence - http://tldp.org/* at this point for teaching me everything - https://gist.github.com/scy/6781836 for some intersting ssh backgrounding information that I did not make use of - first comment at $ABOVE for linking me to $BELOW - second comment at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2241063/bash-script-to-setup-a-temporary-ssh-tunnel/15198031#15198031 for introducing me to ssh control sockets (which are super cool) - the colorado school of mines for breaking me so much that after finished finals all I wanted to do is create more work for myself - people on stack overflow for teaching me bash scripting (and everything else I know) - the maker of the statue of liberty for being french - the dinosaur on the Firefox "Unable to connect" page for being cute the *-thousand time I forgot how to script - madeon for creating music to accompany me
