i use this - Code: Select all
WatchConnect Action: StartIn: "C:\Programmi\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall" ShowMinimized NormalPriority START-APP: C:\Programmi\Agnitum\Outpost Firewall\outpost.exe
maybe i would like that nncron pings to a link and if really the internet connection is enstabilished runs my programs
i would like that nncron run every time i'm in the net ,outpost and then maybe shout down outpost

As far as I know, every modem connection has a name. So, why do't you use the 'ONLINE: "connection"' word?
Like this: - Code: Select all
WatchConnect Rule: ONLINE: "connection_name" Action: \ ...

but now i have a lan connection !
but sometime the modem is not pluged to the telephone line!
so i would like that nncron pings every 5 seconds to for example google and run some programs
- Code: Select all
5000 TO PING-TIMEOUT Rule: HOST-EXIST: "www.nncron.ru" Action: START-APP: my_app.exe
something like this , but with this script nncron run (outpost , miranda and so on ,many times)
i want that nncron run these programs 1 time when i'm online, maybe when i'm offline terminate these process
and if i return online restart these program

Just check the existance of the process before starting the new instance:
- Code: Select all
Rule: HOST-EXIST: "www.nncron.ru" PROC-EXIST: "my_app.exe" 0= AND Action: START-APP: my_app.exe
There is anothe way: you can create a flag-file when you are online and start/close programs depending of existance of this flag: - Code: Select all
Rule: HOST-EXIST: "www.nncron.ru" FILE-EXIST: "c:\online.sem" 0= AND Action: CREATE-FILE: "c:\online.sem"
(Do not forget to delete the file when you go offline!)

Excuse me, I don't really understand what does it means 'can't keep connection' and how this is related to HOST-EXIST...

HOST-EXIST does not disable any connection. It just 'pings' the specified host with the specified timeout. So - this line has nothing to do with disabling your lan connection. Maybe the connection is disabled by the program which is started in START-APP line?

There is a chance that you have a task in your nncron.tab which is terminating your lan connection (for example, by starting a special program) but this is not related to HOST-EXIST.
