Hello 9fans,

  I'm using ftpfs to log into my work ftp
  it kicks me off after a while and ftpfs -k doesn't work for me.

  I've written a script to keep the connection open which I call with
  my login script so that it stays logged in while I'm logged in.

ftpfs -m /usr/matt/bc ip.addr.ess
{
        while (test -r /proc/$pid) {
                # use date so the cache doesn't interfere
                echo `{date} > /usr/matt/bc/thedate
                sleep 50
        }
        rm /usr/matt/bc/thedate
        unmount /usr/matt/bc
} &  

  any criticisms, comments or better ways of doing it?
