The connect scripts consist of lines which start with the
+ following keywords or symbols:-
+
- - # All lines starting with a # are ignored, as are wholly blank lines.
-
- timeout followed by a number is the number of seconds to wait for a command
- to complete. If there is no timeout specified in the script then the default is 60 seconds.
-
- abort is a regular expression containing one or more strings to look for to abort a
- connection. This is a perl regular expression and is executed ignoring case.
-
- connect followed by ax25 or telnet and some type dependent information. In
- the case of a telnet connection, there can be up to two parameters, the first is the ip
- address or hostname of the computer you wish to connect to and the second is the port number you
- want to use (this can be left out if it is a normal telnet session).
-
In the case of an ax25 session then this would normally be a call to ax25_call
- or netrom_call as in the example above. It is your responsibility to get your node
- and other ax25 parameters to work before going down this route!
-
- ' or " are the delimiting characters for a chat type script. They normally
- come in pairs, either can be empty. Each line reads input from the connection until it sees the string
- (or perl regular expression) contained in the left hand string. If the left hand string is empty then
- it doesn't read or wait for anything. The comparison is done ignoring case.
-
When the left hand string has found what it is looking (if it is) then the right hand string is
- sent to the connection.

This process is repeated for every line of chat script.

- client starts the connection, put the arguments you would want here if you were

- connects to GB7DJK-1 [instead of a script called gb7djk-1]).
