I have a small script that pings my ISP every so often so the ISP
doesn't shut my server connection down for lack of activity. The script
is as follows
#!/bin/sh
ping -i 600 wvi.com>/tmp/pinglog.txt
On my desktop I have set up an icon to start the script called pingit.
The execute line is
/root/pingit &.
Now the problem is, that when I click on the icon for the script, it
should start running and run in the background. And I should be able
to see it in the Taskmanager, but I don't see it running and it
evidentally is not executing.
I have tried to start it in a terminal with the following:
!pingit &
I get an error msg that has to do with the '&'
If I try to run it with just !pingit, it says that there is no such command.
Anyone have any ideas? All Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
