Hello I have a gateway with wireless interface wi0. From time to time it hangs down with the following log entry in /var/log/all.log
Mar 28 22:19:37 morpheus /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC Mar 28 22:19:37 morpheus /kernel: wi0: tx buffer allocation failed Mar 28 22:19:37 morpheus /kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. Mar 28 22:19:37 morpheus /kernel: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC Mar 28 22:19:37 morpheus /kernel: wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed Mar 28 22:20:42 morpheus /kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. Mar 28 22:21:42 morpheus /kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. I tried the following script, placed as a crontab entry to reboot the system: #!/bin/sh result=`fping 212.50.x.xxx|cut -b 17-21` result1="alive" if [ "$result1" = "$result" ]; then echo $result else reboot fi This script works as expected when envoked from the shell, but when placed as th following crontab entry: */10 * * * * root /root/reb (reb is the script name) the system reboots regardless if 212.50.x.xxx is reachable or not. What is the difference??? And what am I doing wrong?? I'm tracking FreeBSD 4-STABLE and this is 4.8-RC FreeBSD 4.8-RC #0: Any help will be appreciated. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
