NAME
spinner - Sends small packets over a idle link
SYNOPSIS
spinner [options]
DESCRIPTION
Spinner is an anti-idle program that displays a little "spinning" ASCII character in the
top left corner of your terminal. spinner is useful for keeping telnet and ssh links from
dropping due to inactivity. Many firewalls, and some ISPs drop connections when they are
perceived as idle. By having spinner running the server is constantly sending a tiny
amount of data over the link, preserving the connection.
