Hi,
This question is reguarding C-Kermit scripting not the kermit
protocol. Is this the proper place?
I have a script that waits for input on the serial line,
writes to a file, runs a program, then sends output. The program
needs to wait for long periods of time sometimes. What is
the maximum value I can use to wait with? It seems that
the program breaks out of the wait after about a day or so
with the current values I'm using. Since I quit if the wait
fails the script stops running. (The reason I quit if the
wait fails is so that a ^C at the console will kill the script,
otherwise the only way I have of killing the script is sending
a shutdown command over the serial line).
Please cc: me a copy of any posted responses since I dont
follow this group.
