Re: ping script

[Curtis Vaughan]

Well, I've been able to edit Bijan's script to do exactly what I want 
except.  It just runs once.  Without putting it in a cron job that 
would run every 10 secs, how do I get it to just keep repeating itself, 
preferably with a 10 sec delay?

Could you share it with me?
Here's a quick one:
#!/bin/bash
if ping -c 1 $1;
then echo "success";
else echo "ping failed for $1" | mail -s "ping failure for $1" 
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
fi

Simply replace "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with your email address.
