If the host is not reachable, F<ssh> is stopped.

=head1 CONFIGURATION

Add something alongs the lines of

	Host *
		ControlPath /tmp/%r@%h:%p

to your F<ssh_config>, in order to configure the path that the F<ssh> control
master will bind on. C<ControlMaster auto> is not needed.

The advantage over C<ControlMaster auto> is that if you close your initial ssh,
which is the control master under C<auto> all subsequently made connections
will also close. By keeping a daemonized, managed instance of C<ssh> this
problem is avoided.


Use C<ssh -v yourhost> to verify that the connection really is going through
the control master.
