Description Pacho Ramos 2008-02-26 15:04:42 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux
OS:                Linux

From https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=38112 :

I often use krdc to control my windows server but sometimes I have unstable wi-fi connection - so when i lost connection(may be for 5-10 seconds) I should close krdc and reconnect again(manually).Can you fix it?)I want the krdc reconnect automatically(for example mstsc in windows do 20 attempts when network cannot be reached or cable unpluged)

Thanks a lot

This is now implemented, at least for VNC.

I can't find an option to enable automagic reconnection, and I am using krdc 4.13.0 from Ubuntu 14.04.

There is no option; if your build has the change, the retry logic is present and on.

According to this page, the change went into 4.12 at least:
