But maybe I am missing something. Is there a feature of autossh that I don't
get with systemd?
AutoSSH can restart a failed connection even if SSH has not terminated. It uses either a pair of tunneled ports or an
alternate mechanism to detect tunnel failure.

AFAIK ssh has the ability to detect broken connection itself.
I use this options:
-o "ExitOnForwardFailure yes" -o "ServerAliveInterval 60"
But I guess these options are not perfect yet.
Maybe I am wrong, but I think the "monitoring port" magic of auto-ssh is not needed.
Please tell me if I am wrong.
These options make ssh detect broken connections on his own:
http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man5/ssh_config.5#ServerAliveInterval
http://man.openbsd.org/OpenBSD-current/man5/ssh_config.5#ServerAliveCountMax
BTW, thanks to Ingo Schwarze that you can link directly to ssh_config options now.
