I'm curious if anyone else idles in SSH sessions as much as I do. I have almost always 2-3 of them open idling on my second monitor. I mainly watch TOP or the firewall traffic. I usually spot DDOS attacks within 2-3 minutes before I even get any alerts.
Also I find SSH to be very soothing. Yes that's nerdy but the calm black and white screen (hate color ssh) with the neat rows of alphanumerics relaxes me.
I am here to rescue you.

I don't idle SSH either, but I always have a local command line open.

I'm on a laptop so there isn't much room for idling; I tend to have a few tabs in Terminal.app open most of the time dedicated to managing my servers; top, security log, quick jobs; nothing really interesting there. I'm a big user of `screen` though.

I usually have one SSH session open, hate how it seems to time out on me just when I need it.

After installing ubuntu the first thing I did was change the profile colour for SSH terminal, looked disgusting purple.
