[Dxspider-support] Connect…

[Dirk Koopman]

GB7DJK has been up and down because of software updates and me needing 
to do research on a node that is actually being used. Which give you an 
explanation.

I presume you have a /spider/local/crontab with lines like this in it:

00,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * start_connect('gb7djk') unless connected('gb7djk')

Whether or not a node disconnects can simply be dependent on the 
"weather" on the internet. You cannot rely on a connection staying up 
all the time. My connections can stay up for days and then, on other 
days, disconnect every couple of hours. There does not seem to be any 
rime or reason for it. If you update and do something like:

grepdbg -3 extmsg disconnect

You'll need to update as I found that grepdbg did not do what I thought 
it did (for -3 and 3) and 'grepdbg -help' now gives a bit more help. 
There are no other changes.
