I'm hoping someone here can help - I have a script which looks something
like:
set line /dev/xxx
set speed 9600
set modem type hayes
dial nnnnnnn
if failure exit
echo hi
exit
The problem comes if the modem hits a busy signal - its recognises it
and executes the 'if failure' - the problem is that I then get a message
saying something like 'there may still be a connection on /dev/xxx - do
you want to exit ?' and I need to answer yes or no manually. Is there a
way of disabling this action, so that the exit returns straight to the
prompt.
I'd appreciate answers via e-mail if poss since I don't normally look at
this group, but I'm willing to post a summary back.
Thanks,
Simon - a desperate kermit novice.
