Hi Stephen and everybody else

well the first post did not come out very well in file format sorry for
that I have logged in remotely and reading email.

 /spider/connect
in it
#
timeout  15    (This should be first line)
abort )Busy|Sorry|Fail)   (this should be second line)
connect telnet 115.69.164.130 7300   (this should be third line)
'login' 'Your callsign'       (this should be forth line)
'word' 'your password'  (this should be 5th line)
#


then in /spider/local_cmd

a file called crontab  this would look like this

# check every 10 minutes to see if vk7hdm-2 is connected and if not (this
should be the first line)
# start a connect job going.    (This should be the second line)
0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 * * * * start_connect ('vk7hdm-2') unless
connected('vk7hdm-2')      (this should be third line)

Hope this comes out better

Best Regards
