PuTTY has a command-line executable called PLINK.EXE (I'm not yelling! I just always see it spelled in upper case) that you could use within a batch file. Also, batch files have a "goto" statement that can be used to create a loop. Can I put in my vote that this is a terrible idea? I realize there may be other constraints that force this particular use of technologies, but if the SSH server is so dodgy that you have to have some facility to keep the session running, and you're using a mobile broadband connection anyway, it seems to me that IPSec would be much more reliable and secure. If the data volume is substantial, IPSec will also be faster, since SSH2 has the stuck-sliding-window thing. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
