title: "How to prevent SSH timeout from hanging your terminal"

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.
