ssh is no longer working from the commandline I was trying to stop ssh from terminating after 10 minutes.

I followed an instruction here saying to modify a config file and restart the service with:

sudo launchctl stop com.openssh.sshd


Now ssh pi@12.34.567.89 just hangs.

I've reverted the config file and rebooted the machine but it still hangs.

How to fix?

PS sudo launchctl start com.openssh.sshd + another reboot also fails.

[pi@pis-iMac] ~ 
&gt; launchctl list | grep ssh
-   0   com.openssh.ssh-agent
You may need to load the service again.

sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ssh.plist
