Also you can check when telnet session disconnect which is the $?(exit code) of it.
Then you can test that output, instead of counting the seconds.
That way if they make a sequel which last 3700 seconds, you won't have to modify your script

smd-loop
smd-loop(1) Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation smd-loop(1)
NAME
smd-loop - iterates smd-pull and smd-push
SYNOPSIS
smd-loop [-vt]
DESCRIPTION
smd-loop runs smd-push and smd-pull at regular intervals as defined by the user in the ~/.smd/loop configuration file. On errors that are
reported to be transient, it retries a second time before failing.
The configuration file is line-oriented. Each line is composed of three space separated fields: pull-frequency, push-frequency and end-
point-name. Frequencies are expressed in minutes, while endpoint name is a valid name for smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1). Lines beginning with
# are considered as comments. The following example calls the command smd-pull default every 3 minutes, and smd-push default every 10.
Example:
# pull-frequency push-frequency endpoint-name
3 10 default
OPTIONS
-v Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)
-t Just create a template configuration file if none
FILES
~/.smd/loop
