Daemon Mode

[Kevin Fink <kevin@xxxxxxxx>]

Although daemon mode attempts to turn off the 10 second connect timeout in
&hotSync(), it isn't entirely successful.  There appears to be another
timeout within PDA::Pilot::accept() which makes it return -1 after about 3
minutes or so.  Because of this PilotManager (slowly) loops, printing lots
of annoying output.

To fix this, I would suggest a couple of changes.

First, don't print out the request to press the Hotsync button when
in daemon mode (the user probably won't see it anyway):

***************
*** 2074,2080 ****
        return;
      }
  
!     msg("Please press the Hotsync button on your Pilot cradle");
  
      $CANCEL = 0;
  
--- 2074,2081 ----
        return;
      }
  
!     msg("Please press the Hotsync button on your Pilot cradle")
!       unless($MODE eq "DAEMON");
  
      $CANCEL = 0;

Next, don't decrement $retries when in daemon mode, as that'll just make
us waste time looping:

***************
*** 2096,2102 ****
      $retries = 3;
      while (1)
      {
!       $retries--;
  
        $gWm->update unless (defined $MODE);
  
--- 2097,2103 ----
      $retries = 3;
      while (1)
      {
!       $retries-- unless($MODE eq 'DAEMON');
  
        $gWm->update unless (defined $MODE);
  
Finally, check to make sure $dlp isn't -1 before saying that we're
connected: 

***************
*** 2115,2121 ****
  
        $gWm->update unless (defined $MODE);
  
!       if ($dlp)
        {
            msg("Connected.");
            last;
--- 2114,2120 ----
  
        $gWm->update unless (defined $MODE);
  
!       if ($dlp && $dlp != -1)
        {
            msg("Connected.");
            last;
