Normaly, "echo q | call ax0 db0fhn" closes immediately after "echo q" terminates; thus we never see the greeting from db0fhn. With the -W option, call waits until the ax25-connection is disconnected (i.e. db0fhn disconnects after "q" command). Very useful for scripting. You might like to combine it with the -T option. .LP The call program interprets lines beginning with a '~' specially. The following '~' escapes are available. |
