WaitForPort - Waits 10 secs for port to appear

PORTNAME/A, I=INTERVAL/K/N, L=LOOP/K/N, D=DISAPPEAR/S

PORTNAME  - Name of the port to wait for                                       
INTERVAL  - Only checks for the port every INTERVAL seconds (Default=1)
LOOP      - Number of time to loop (Default=10)
DISAPPEAR - Check for the port to disappear instead of appear

WaitForPort waits (10 seconds by default) for the specified port to appear. A return code of 0 indicates that the port was found. A return code of 5 indicates that the application is not currently running or that the port does not exist.

Example:

  MorphOS:> WaitForPort INTERVAL=1 LOOP=5 MIAMI.1

=> Waits 1 second and check for the presence of the 'MIAMI.1' port. Do that 5 times.

NOTE: Port names are case sensitive.
