Worked wonderful. I have seen the ping and reply from Wilfred
I had to change it very little to have it correctly working on my system

https://github.com/aroundmyroom/fidonet-pingpong
I have put it on my repository ..
Although I am no coder I do like to share my amateur work ;)

shaking hands ;)

You can check my changes..
I only made sure it can work in the folder I want to have it ran from
and I made sure the logpart was defined as I saw an error when trying to run the
script from commandline. Very minor..

I also liked the uptime part in the tagline ;) and I am thinking about not killing the original message but
save it in a local folder.

Thanks a million!

Dennis
