You could try to use -W in ping to set a higher timeout, but I don't think the problem is there, maybe in can find a way to make it work, but I am quite sure there is something wrong. For your tests, you could try something like this: while [ 1 ]; do ping -c 1 -W 2 merkur || echo Ping Problem sleep 1s done Gook luck, Rodrigo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
