Re: [Quickfix-developers] Starting QuickFix Engine

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

No, but you can keep track of how much time has elapsed and query  
isLoggedOn to see if the connection is succesfull.  If you want you  
can read in the recconnectInterval settings and multiply it by the  
number of connections you are interested in.  i.e., if the interval  
is set to 10 seconds and you want 5 attempts, (10 * 5) - 10 = 40  
seconds.
