I'm managing a couple of Linux machines that serve as proxies, but I've noticed one of them can get into a hung state after patching, and I want to prevent that from happening unnoticed in the future. The challenge is that my entire environment, except for these proxies, runs on Windows, and I can only access the proxies via SSH and SCP. I'm looking for a programmatic way to validate if both proxies are up and running, ideally with Windows tools like PowerShell. I understand that recent versions of Windows have OpenSSH installed, but I'm unsure how to use it effectively for automation. Any advice on how to approach this?

You might be pleased to know that recent Windows versions come with an OpenSSH client and server, although they’re not installed by default. You can find the client in the 'Optional features' of Windows. This might come in handy for your SSH needs.
