How about this?



/* pppdialer.cmd */



call directory value('TMP',,'OS2ENVIRONMENT')



fname = 'startppp.sem'



do forever

    i = stream(fname, 'c', 'query exists')

    if i \== '' then do

        call sysfiledelete fname

        /* add something here to check if ppp is already running,

           such as GO! v1.5, else */

        'detach ppp ... >ppp.log 2>&1'

    end

    call SysSleep 55

end



return 0
