This OpenSSH status widget provides a GUI to control the OpenSSH daemon as well as wifi power management from the status menu in many useful ways:

• puts a configurable button in the status menu to control the OpenSSH server and wifi power management
• displays server status
• offers connections overview
• displays a customizable icon in the status area
• displays wifi pm settings
• detects conflicting "respawn" system setting and can disable it
  
  Widget options:
  • Enable tracking of server status
    When not enabled, just switch the server daemon on/off and call up the number of connections manually by long pressing the button.
  • Stop tracking when server is off
    Recommended for minimizing power consumption
  • Show status 'connected' in status area
    When one or more server connections are active the status area icon will show an additional symbol or alternatively change its color
  • Show dialog on long tap
    Shows a configurable dialog instead of disconnecting instantly
  • Show wifi power management button
  OpenSSH options:
  • Run server at system startup
    Switch autostart on/off
  • Stop server when not connected for xx minutes
    Stop server automatically when not needed
  Wifi pm options:
  • Keep wifi power management off when connected
    Avoid input lags caused by wifi power management. This feature handles server connections and client connections.
    Because keeping off power management drains the battery quite a lot there's an experimental toggle mode which allows to toggle power management every few seconds in order to find a balance between power consumption and appearing input lags.

The attached image shows the button when

• server is on and ready
• server is on with 3 active connections
• server is waiting for 1 connection to close - wifi pm feature is disabled
• server is off - wifi pm is kept off when connected
• server is on with tracking disabled - wifi pm is in toggle mode when connected

A short tap on the main button starts the server and stops it without closing active connections.
A long tap on the main button either shows a configurable dialog or disconnects and stops the server instantly. When tracking is disabled the number of connections can be called up additionally.

A short tap on the wifi pm button keeps wifi pm off for 30 seconds. This solves login problems caused by wifi pm.
A long tap on the wifi pm button opens wifi pm settings.

Settings can be accessed from the dialog window or by opening "OSW Options" in the application menu, category desktop.
