.Nm rtty
.Nd limited but responsive remote shell
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl P
.Op Ar ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Pp
.Nm
is a wrapper around
.Xr ssh 1
that provides a remote shell as responsive as
.Xr mosh 1
and as limited as a traditional teletypewriter.
It is a very useful tool on slow connections.
As
.Nm
uses the default line-editing capabilities of the terminal,
user input is only sent to the remote server
once a full line has been input.
.Pp
If the
.Fl P
flag is provided,
.Nm
will manually ask the user for a password and run
.Xr ssh 1
using
.Xr sshpass 1 .
Otherwise,
.Xr ssh 1
is launched in batch mode,
without the possibility of interactive password entry.
.Pp
All arguments except
.Fl P
are passed to
.Xr ssh 1 .
.Sh AUTHORS
.Pp
.Nm
is written by John Ankarström
.Aq Mt "john (at) ankarstrom.se" .
.Sh CAVEATS
.Pp
.Nm
exits immediately on SIGINT;
it is best used in conjunction with
.Xr dtach 1
on the remote server.
