Hi all, When I first got internet service I was given three scripts. Two worked fine, the third one doesn't. I am planning a vaction and need to be able to keep my computer online while I am away.
This is a script which needs to be run as a cron job. I never bothered before now because I just manually check the connection every so often. but now I will be away. So I need help to get the running: Here it is: 1 #!/bin/sh 2 TESTHOST="198.133.219.25" #Host to ping-test: cisco.com 3 STOPSCRIPT="/usr/sbin/ptstop" #Script to stop a connection 4 STARTSCRIPT="/usr/sbin/ptstart" #Script to start a connection 5 6 [ -e /var/run/ptcron.pid ] || exit 0 7 touch /var/run/ptcron.pid 8 PING=`which ping` 9 GREP=`which grep` 10 SED=`which sed` 11 ALIVE=`$PING -c 1 -n $TESTHOST | $GREP 64\ bytes | $SED '/icmp/c\1' 12 `if [ "$ALIVE" == "1" ]; then 13 exit 0 14 fi 15 echo -e "Link is dead, reloading 16 "$STOPSCRIPT$STARTSCRIPTrm -f /var/run/ptcron.pid 17 exit 0 I already caught that line 6 dumps me to a promt...
