tunneling set up on Solaris10 error

Dear experts

I want to have the tunnel constantly running

while [ ! -f /tmp/stop ]; do ssh -o ExitOnForwardFailure=yes -R 5432:localhost:1521 172.25.34.55 "while nc -zv localhost 1521; do sleep 5; done"; sleep 5; done

getting the error

command-line: line 0: Bad configuration option: ExitOnForwardFailure

The ssh command on Solaris doesn't support "ExitOnForwardFailure".

Take out the unsupported option.
You are creating a remote tunnel?

yes. I am trying to create a remote tunnel and keep that tunnel connection alive

Your best bet I to create a shell script that will be transmitting keep alive events through the tunnel while on the system from which the ssh connection is initiated you have a shell script that responds.

You want the system with IP 172.25 to have connection to 5432 that will connect them backto the local system's oracle listener?

Or do you need the tunnel to connect to oracle running on the 172.25 IP?

Sorry for not responding your suggestion.

I have database running on port 1521 on 172.25.34.55

I want to connect to that 172.25.34.55 from 172.25.34.54 using tunnel . That tunnel should constantly running. that's what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks for the help

Regards
