Seeing as this simply will not be an option, no matter how much we want it to be, we need to consider alternatives.
This is why we need to learn to use Screen and plan like we're never going to get an always open ssh connection on the end device.
This means we have to think about intermediate always-on servers we can ssh into, and keep distinct iSSH settings for each screen instance. For instance the following two commands could be run on the same server with different screen names to have two distinct, yet almost identical, connections.
screen -DRRS bounce-to-server-1
screen -DRRS bounce-to-server-2
We're not going to get always-on background connections with iSSH, no matter how much we want it and begging Dean to make it happen doesn't change that fact. Put your lateral thinking caps on, accept that fact and find new and innovative solutions.
