Hi Brian, There is no current way to disconnect all normal connections while leaving permanent connection linked, as far as I know (and I've been through that code a lot). On the node where the permanent connection is initiated, some code could be added to accomplish selective disconnects, theoretically speaking---something like a modified ilink,16 command. The only difference between permanent and normal connection is the setting of the internal "max_retries" variable to a huge value (in app_rpt.c, see the name: MAX_RETRIES_PERM) and the setting of the "perma" variable, which is simply a flag---so, connections are really permanent, but connect retries go on for a very long time! ...In app_rpt.c, see the comment: /* Make a string of disconnected nodes for possible restoration */ In app_rpt, the initiating node is to only place where the"max_retries" and "perma" variables are visible...From the "target" node's perspective (i.e.: the node which was connected TO via a permanent connect command), there is no way to tell any difference, unfortunately, so no way to perform a selective disconnect without changes to telemetry. ...It would be nice if more comprehensive telemetry info got passed between nodes, but, that can't happen without potentially breaking all legacy nodes which haven't upgraded. 73, David KB4FXC On Tue, 21 Mar 2017, Bryan Fields wrote:

No, it's not. ilink,6 disconnects all nodes, I'm looking for a way I can have it disconnect all normal ilink,2/3 linked nodes, but leave the permalinks (ilink,12/13) connected. -- Bryan Fields 727-409-1194 - Voice http://bryanfields.net _______________________________________________ App_rpt-users mailing list App_rpt-users@lists.allstarlink.org http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users To unsubscribe from this list please visit http://lists.allstarlink.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/app_rpt-users and scroll down to the bottom of the page.
