+
+Sometimes, I open an SSH session and then forget about it. When I get back to it, it hangs indefinitely, without a way to close it other than closing the terminal.
+
+To avoid this, add this to the client config:
+
+```sshconfig
+Host *
+        ServerAliveInterval 100
+```
+
+If you're disconnected from the SSH server, you'll get this message `Timeout, server example.com not responding.` and the connection is terminated.
