@SUBJECT:Remote Script Initialization
I work nights at the local Kmart and since I'm only allowed to do
automated file transfers after 9:30PM, I'd like to be able to
start my file transfers during my shift so they're finished by
the time I get home.
One way of doing this would be to program a simple loop that
starts the script at a pre-determined time.  While that may be
neat, I'd like to be able to start it by remote, just to see if I
can do it.
I know how to implement the procedure--I'm just not sure if it
would work this way.  Theoretically it appears that it should
work, but I don't live in a theoretical world, so could someone
look at the code below and see where it might go wrong or where
it could be improved upon?
Summary:  I want the script to call another script (the file
transfer script) after 8 incoming rings (a pre-determined number)
and a five-second delay (gives me time to hang up).
So would this work?
main ()
{
  int callinit=8;
  int cnt;
  int t1,current;
  str script[12];
  t1=track("RING");
  while (cnt < callinit)
  {
    terminal();
    stat=track_hit(0);
    if (current==t1) cnt=cnt+1;
  }
  delay_scr (50);
  if (carrier ()  0)
  {
    call (script);
  }
}
