We had one set of users change their FTP proc so that it checked the return code and if it was not zero to re-tried the ftp. They set the proc up to retry up to 3 times, with a wait step in between to delay 30 seconds before retrying.

However this 1% is in a VERY visible system and receives a lot of attention. A rerun a few minutes later is successful. So, the question is, might we setup some kind of a PING process and then depending on the RC from the PING either enter a WAIT for 60 seconds or continue? What do you do?
