fixes the panic when the user sends multiple connect commands and is
already connected. The panic is caused by closing an already closed
channel. This happens when the idle re-init code is not executed, e.g.
when there's a return statement in the switch block. A defer func()
before the switch block will prevent this. The existing behavior of only
creating a new idleStop channel when properly connected is preseverd.
