MOSH(1)

NAME
mosh-server - server-side helper for mosh

SYNOPSIS
mosh-server new [-s] [-i IP] [-p port] [-c colors] [-- command...]

DESCRIPTION
mosh-server is a helper program for the mosh(1) remote terminal application. mosh-server binds to a high UDP port and chooses an encryption key to protect the session. It prints both on standard output, detaches from the terminal, and waits for the mosh-client to establish a connection. It will exit if no client has contacted it within 60 seconds. By default, mosh-server binds to a port between 60000 and 61000 and executes the user's login shell. On platforms with utempter, mosh-server maintains an entry in the utmp(5) file to indicate its process ID, whether the session is connected, and the client's current IP address. mosh-server exits when the client terminates the connection.

OPTIONS
The argument "new" must be first on the command line to use command-line options.

-i IP
    IP address of the local interface to bind (for multihomed hosts)

-p PORT

-c COLORS
