The reason being is because, I have a 6 hour session limit of 6 hours, and
if I dc 20 mins before the session limit, I can reconnect straight away. Yea
cron might be easier.
Cheers

Good afternoon,
My first reaction was, "why would you?"
I would consider using cron for this, it'd be the easiest way I can
think of. Set up a bash script (perl if you must) and then call it from
cron at the set intervals.
Regards,
Russell.
