Hi gang,
I want to write a kermit script to thrash a device I'm working on.
In doing so, I want the script to be able to insert random pauses
in the data stream.
I figured the msleep command would provide the pauses, but I see no
builting random() function call or anything like that. I didn't see
a relevent posting in a DejaNews search; so I was wondering if anyone
had a good idea for generating a random number in a kermit script?
