David,
The script I provided assumes the sh shell. Most shell scripts have
been historically written for the bourne shell. Before running the
script I sent you, try typing sh<enter> at the command line. Then,
run the line I sent your way.
Let me know how it works for you!

Hi Eric
Thank you for that, I think I see one thing I was doing wrong
(putting the ping into the if!)
Running your code in the command window I get (Following the
successful ping)
TESTV=0: Command not found.
TESTV: Undefined variable.
As you can tell I am learning this syntax!
Can you help me further?
With thanks
David Hingston

Hi
I want to run a cron job in /etc/crontab that runs (ifconfig em0
down; ifconfig em0 up) if my cables static ip gateway can't be
pinged but I can't figure it out. I can't get the syntax that runs
in the command window, to then put intot the crontab....
Can anyone help me?
Here's what I'd use:
ping -c 1 a.b.c.d; TESTV=$?; if [ $TESTV != 0 ]; then `ifconfig em0
down`; fi
