>Hi, if I start mldonkey using ./mldonkey , and I close my telnet to the
server,

>please mail me...

for redhat user...
copy and paste the snip/snap into a file named "mld".
config your mld-script...
cp mld /etc/init.d/mld
chkconfig /etc/init.d/mld
...now you can disable/enable it on startup with "ntsysv"

i disable it on startup while my isp hangup after 24h.
you can better put it into "/etc/ppp/ip-up" and "/etc/ppp/ip-down"

ip-up:
...
/etc/init.d/mld start
exit 0 < last line

ip-down:
...
/etc/init.d/mld stop
exit 0 < last line
