  17. I am using Kermit from Linux and I am doing ssh.
  18.  
  19. I want someway to check if the server I am connecting to is down,
  20. instead of hanging my script in an endless loop.
  21.  
  22. Is there a way to check for this condition or tell Kermit after a
  23. certain amount of time, if it doesn't connect to quit ?
  24.  
  25. Thank you
