[App_rpt-users] Auto Reconnect? scheduler works well. RE: App_rpt-users Digest, Vol 96, Issue 56

Bob,

I like the scheduler in rpt.conf.  I have it setup to execute a 'connect
node' macro on those nodes I want to keep connected.  My ISP will sometimes
go down at midnight and stay down for minutes to hours.  I have another node
fed by microwave.  Although very reliable, the route is sometimes affected
by interference.  This simple feature does the job for me. 

Below is a copy from the rpt.conf on the hub node. 

;Other scheduled activities for (node# redacted) BEGINS
7 = 06 07 * * *  ; re-connect 1949 formerly (node# redacted)to (node#
redacted)at 0706 keep alive
5 = 07 07 * * *  ; re-connect (node# redacted)to (node# redacted)at 0707
keep alive
4 = 05 07 * * *  ; re-connect (node# redacted)site 7 to (node# redacted)at
0705 keep alive
5 = 07 15 * * *  ; re-connect (node# redacted)to (node# redacted)at 1507
keep alive
9 = 08 07 * * *  ; re-connect 1954 remote base to (node# redacted)at 0708
keep alive
9 = 08 00 * * *  ; re-connect 1954 remote base to (node# redacted)at 0008
keep alive
;Other scheduled activities for (node# redacted)ENDS


It is easy to implement and modify.

Is there a way to setup an auto reconnect after an internet interruption? I
would want to set it for a specific period of time, which I could perform
manually, but I don't want to have to monitor the repeater to catch the
disconnect. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Bob
