----------------------------------------
Opens a reverse ssh connection to "username@host", forwarding "port" to the local ssh.
Retries every 3 minutes if the forwarding (or the connection) fails
----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
for (( ; ; ))
do
    ssh -g -o "ExitOnForwardFailure yes" -R port:localhost:22     username@host
    sleep 180
done



----------------------------------------
Script that adds another route to internet. Add table "admin" to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables once before running the script the first time. Here, 10.0.0.138 is the router, eth0 is the network device that connects to the secondary route.
----------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash
#Add table "admin" to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
myotherdevice=eth0
myothernetwork=10.0.0
myothergateway=10.0.0.138
myotherip=$(ifconfig | grep $myothernetwork | cut -d: -f2 | cut -f1 -d' ')
ip route add ${myothernetwork}.0/24 dev $myotherdevice src $myotherip table admin
ip route add default via $myothergateway dev $myotherdevice table admin
ip rule add from ${myotherip}/32 table admin
ip rule add to ${myotherip}/32 table admin
ip route flush cache


----------------------------------------
Script that downloads a directory using rsync, with resume.
----------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 ]
do
    rsync -avrvv --size-only --partial --progress username@host:/source_dir destination_dir
    if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
        echo "Rsync completed normally."
        exit
    else
        echo "Rsync failed. Retrying in 3 minutes."
        sleep 180
    fi
done

----------------------------------------
Same, but binds the connection to the other interface/route (10.0.0.2 is the assigned ip).
----------------------------------------

#!/bin/bash

while [ 1 ]
do
    rsync --address=10.0.0.2 -avrvv --size-only --partial --progress -e 'ssh -oBindAddress=10.0.0.2' username@host:/source_dir destination_dir
    if [ "$?" = "0" ] ; then
        echo "Rsync completed normally."
        exit
    else
        echo "Rsync failed. Retrying in 3 minutes."
        sleep 180
    fi
done
