Greetings, Cary Lewis!
I have created a small shell script that acts like a network
connectivity watchdog, which checks for a successful ping to the
internet, and if it doesn't work, restarts the machine.
When I attempt to run it from a cron job, the script exits whenever
any of the commands exits with a non zero status, preventing the
script from doing its job.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before?
I have tried wrapping the script in () to run it within a sub-shell,
but to no avail.
man bash
You have to disable abort-on-error in your script.

Sorry for my terrible english...
$ man bash | grep abort
Control-G will abort an incremental search and restore the
original
abort (C-g)
It might be better if your searched for "errexit".
