Need to have script look at the length of time connected

[M1PBXtech]

Hello

I have a login script I attach to entries in my dialing directory. I recently added the "termreset" command at the front of the script and it works great to clear scroll back and terminal settings from the previous connection.

The problem I have run into is sometimes due to inactivity the equipment I connect to will log me out. It does not disconnect me just logs me out and when this happens I click a meta key that has the LOGI script attached to it to log back in. I would prefer that The screen does not reset in this instance. I know that one obvious answer is to have two login scripts. One with the termreset and one without but it seems like there should be a way I can have the one login script look at the connect time and if connected greater then 1 minute do not termreset. I searched the aspect commands and cannot seem to find anything to help me look at time connected?

Any Ideas?

I don't know how to reference the time you've been connected, but how about having your script send some type of 'keep alive' on a routine basis.

That should be pretty easy to do, I think if you search this forum you'll probably find a sample or two.

Good idea but a keep alive will not work. I have various scripts I use while I am logged in. A keep alive script would keep the other scripts from running. Guess I will just make a copy of the LOGI script without the term reset in it an map it to the META key. I was just trying to keep things neat by having the one script serve both needs.

Thanks

Here is one I use, very simple:

proc main
while 1
waitquiet 18 forever
transmit "^M"
endwhile
endproc
