I've been trying to come up with a hypothetical use case for this. I can't use this as a server without keeping an active session right? I wonder if you could get around this by sshing into itself from inside the primary session. Is that an edge case you've considered?

This is a feature I want to implement: an option to keep boxes running while disconnected. Maybe with something like

ssh shellbox.dev keepalive box1

For this use case, why wouldn't you just instead run a VPS on AWS or some cheaper platform?
