mosh-server new [-s] [-v] [-i IP] [-p PORT[:PORT2]] [-c COLORS] [-- command...]

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.

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

-s

-i IP

-p PORT[:PORT2]

UDP port number or port-range to bind

-c COLORS

-l NAME=VALUE

Locale-related environment variable to try as part of a fallback environment, if the startup environment does not specify a character set of UTF-8.
