Hello Jim
you have to edit /spider/local_cmd/crontab to make the connection
persistent in this way:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * start_connect('node') if !connected
('node')
that is one line, and that will check every 5 minutes if "node" is connected
and if not, it will try the connection.
