Disconnect/Exit using Action Intent #602

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Enhancement:

I'm trying to automate SSH tunneling for certain apps using Tasker. So far I've 
managed to get it connected using an action intent as described in the thread 
linked below. Now it would be sweet if I also could get it to disconnect and 
exit when I exit my app instead it running in the background until I remember 
to shut it down.

This is how I launch the tunnel from Tasker;
Action:android.intent.action.VIEW Cat:Default Data:ssh://user@host/#nickname 
Extra: Extra: Target:Activity

It would be sweet to be able to send a similar disconnect/exit command to 
ConnectBot from Tasker.

For anyone interested in automatically starting a tunnel these are the steps;
Setup a host with port forwards in ConnectBot.
Create key in ConnectBot with blank password and load key at startup.
Insert the public key in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys at the server.
In Tasker create a Misc/Send Intent using Action: android.intent.action.VIEW 
Category:Default Data:ssh://username@server:port/#nickname Target:Activity.
Leave other options at default, make sure username@server:port/#nickname 
matches your host in ConnectBot.
(On the server I'm using a specific sshuser which has very limited access due 
to security concerns, use the above with caution.)
