Wow, thats Kewl!
Thanks Robert, yes, that makes the code a little more portable!
In a similar vein, to make it truly run, and for being so good(!), how do I
automate getting the WAN interface name (em0 dc0 etc) on
different machines!?
Kind regards

Subject: Re: FreeBSD Cron Job to run (ifconfig em0 down; ifconfig em0 up)
Hello:
> from edit.php create / write into new file /usr/bin/pinger.sh
#!/bin/sh
ping -c1 Insert_1st_Gateway_Hop_Here_commonly_Static_IP_a.b.c.1
if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
ifconfig em0 down
ifconfig em0 up
echo 'Gateway Down'
else
echo 'Gateway Up'
fi
And you might consider replacing:
ping -c1 Insert_1st_Gateway_Hop_Here_commonly_Static_IP_a.b.c.1
with:
ping -c1 `netstat -rn | head -n 5 | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $2 }'`
