vara_monitor

#!/bin/bash

VERSION=1

#############################################################################################
# VARA running on wine will not release and reopen the ports
# after a connection is made over a network.
# This script will monitor vara for ports not reopening correctly.
# Once a port failure is detected, it will close and re open VARA which
# is a crude way to reset the ports but the only one that works for now.
# VARA FM is the default modem but you can use VARA HF by calling
# it when the script is started. To start FM mode, simply run
#	./vara_monitor
# to start HF mode, modify the command and start with
#	./vara_monitor HF
#
# This script is specifically designed to run on the Raspberry Pi
# and will not work on other versions of Linux.
