Shell script to start/stop an EC2 instance to use as a ssh tunnel

tunnel.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Start/stop an EC2 instance to use as a ssh tunnel
# requires the aws package locally -- sudo apt-get install awscli
#
# usage: ./tunnel.sh start (spin up EC2 and create the tunnel)
#        ./tunnel.sh stop (terminate the EC2 instance to save money)
#        ./tunnel.sh resume (in case your tunnel is interrupted but the EC2 instance is still running)

# CHANGE THE PARAMETERS BELOW

imageid="ami-37501207" # this is an Ubuntu AMI, but you can change it to whatever you want
instance_type="t1.micro"
key_name="myawskeypairname" # your keypair name -- http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html
security_group="my-security-group" # your security group -- http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/using-network-security.html
wait_seconds="5" # seconds between polls for the public IP to populate (keeps it from hammering their API)
port="5222" # the SSH tunnel port you want
key_location="/home/aws/keypair.pem" # your private key -- http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-key-pairs.html#having-ec2-create-your-key-pair
user="ubuntu" # the EC2 linux user name
