You should consider configuring your ssh terminal client to send keep alives.

The way I read your post is that you are remotely logged into a server using ssh and you are having trouble with your ssh terminal being terminated. You have tried to set up keepalives on the server side (sshd); but you have not configured your client to send keep alives.

I used to have this same problem (very annoying) with my MacOS ssh terminals remotely logged into linux servers. Regardless of my settings on the server side, my ssh terminals would time out, annoyingly. I used to use a work-around like "watch /some/changing/logfile.log" and that would insure the terminal remained alive; but I did not like that bandaid (cluttering up my terminals, since I often have four opened at once on the same screen).

Then, I decided to configure my client terminal to send keepalives to the server (in my case MacOS), and since then my client ssh terminals never die, even when logged in for many days with no terminal activity.

What ssh terminal client are you using?

Or, did I completely misunderstand your question, gandolf989?

When you are talking sshd, linux and keepalives, this leads me to think you are remotely logged in to a linux server and you want to keep the ssh session alive. Isn't that right?

nohup

NOHUP(1)                                                           User Commands                                                          NOHUP(1)

NAME

       nohup - run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty

SYNOPSIS

       nohup COMMAND [ARG]...
       nohup OPTION

DESCRIPTION

       Run COMMAND, ignoring hangup signals.

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
              output version information and exit

       If  standard  input  is a terminal, redirect it from an unreadable file.  If standard output is a terminal, append output to 'nohup.out' if
       possible, '$HOME/nohup.out' otherwise.  If standard error is a terminal, redirect it to standard output.   To  save  output  to  FILE,  use
       'nohup COMMAND > FILE'.

       NOTE: your shell may have its own version of nohup, which usually supersedes the version described here.  Please refer to your shell's doc-
       umentation for details about the options it supports.
