[Dxspider-support] start_connect not working

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

The syntax in your /spider/local_cmd/crontab file (NOT the system or 
user crontab!) should look something like

1,11,21,31,41,51 * * * * start_connect('wr3d') unless connected('wr3d')

This example occurs every 10 minutes on the 1. Replace wr3d with the 
node call you are connecting to.
