: Finally good news, made it to work as Network Service and connects
: successfully :)
: 
: This is the correct script:
: 
: @echo off
: :RUN echo Connecting...
: "C:/Program Files/OpenSSH/bin/ssh.exe" [etc....]
: echo Restarting in 10 seconds...
: GOTO RUN

This looks like you want a persistent SSH tunnel.  You might look into
AutoSSH, which is designed for exactly that:

Notable among its features:

    - Backs off on rate of connection attempts when experiencing rapid
      failures such as connection refused

It's available as a precompiled package in Cygwin <http://www.cygwin.com/>.
