login and check &quot;show ssh session&quot;, you might have sessions that are timing out but not being closed down cleanly. theres a limit to the number of sessions, which might be where you have to power cycle or reload to re-gain access.<br />
<br />
if this is whats happening, either monitor it each time you login and, kill the hung sessions (ssh disconnect #, where # is the SID from show ssh session), or login at the console and do the same, when all the ssh sessions are busy.

I have a coupkle of ASA's | every so often I cannot get into the ASA via SSH. &nbsp;I know that SSH works, as after I do a reboot it will work again for a while.<br />
<br />
Is there a fix for that? &nbsp;Else, is there a way to restart some process on the ASA instead of having to reboot it?<br />
<br />
thanks<br />
