Hello,

I have a cron script to connect to the Internet

/usr/sbin/pppd
/bin/sleep 40
u -l -c /usr/bin/fetchmail majordom
/bin/sleep 40
/etc/ppp/stop

but......... am getting quite a few engaged calls for the ISP - any
idea how I carry out say 5 redials before waiting for the next cron
connect ? 

Cheers

Geoff

Hello Mr Cox,

For future reference, if you have a question which has a very specific
target audiance, could you please be careful not to include newsgroups
that do not fall in that target audiance. I fail to see any Perl content
in your question, or even your problem, at all. Yet, you include two
perl groups in your posting spree, one of which is long dead (btw, tell
your newsadmin that comp.lang.perl is dead, and removed from most decent
newsfeeds).
