If you connect to Mjolnir often, you may wish to create an SSH shortcut to save you time typing. To do this, you’ll have to edit your SSH config file on your local computer:

vi ~/.ssh/config

With the following lines:

host mj
   Hostname mjolnirgate.unicph.domain
   User <YOUR-KU-ID>
   ServerAliveInterval 60

Once you’ve reloaded your bash session (or reopened your terminal program), you can now connect using the following shortcut:

ssh mj
