in reply to Telnet session disconnect testing

Are you sure your not getting any sort of disconnect string? Does the remote server allow more then one session? If so you can setup another process to connect and if it fails, restart your initial connection after some sort of delay.

I have done some billing feeds like this which where one way communications, and had to restart my connection, if I received no data within a certain time frame. Maybe try using alarm?

    Thanks for the response gman,

    There is not disconnection string that I am aware of. This is one way communication and one of the models of PBX will only allow a single connection to the port.

    I will look into this alarm but still not sure how I would implement it in the same script as the capture processes.
