Send a PING and an FTP in a job with 60 second pause?

Not really a Ping o'Death but a Ping o'Life?

----

!JOB PINGLIFE,MANAGER.SYS;OUTCLASS=,1;HIPRI;PRI=BS
!RUN PING.NET
172.16.35.19
6
64

!FTP nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
U MANAGER.SYS
userpass,acctpass
EXIT
!STREAM PING.JOB;IN=,,5
!SET STDLIST = DELETE
!EOJ

Actually I use this to "keep" a box alive behind a firewall.  For some reason our box gets dropped from NAT access through the router (times out.)  Also mysteriously, if one Telnets or FTP's from inside the firewall, it wakes it up to the outside world.
