[Dxspider-support] start_connect not working

[Michael Walker]

Hi Mike,

Ok, that helps.  I was doing a crontab -e.  I am now looking at the crontab
file in /spider/local_cmd and the correct entries are there.

I can't seem to figure out why wb3ffv-2 didn't connect.  If I do a manual
connect from the console, it works.


# check every 10 minutes to see if ve7cc-1 is connected and if not

0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * start_connect('ve7cc-1') unless
connected('ve7cc-1')
0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * start_connect('wb3ffv-2') unless
connected('wb3ffv-2')

73
