curstate=0
pstate=0
case "$ipAdd" in
1.1.1.1) prevstate=". /mtnl.txt"
echo "IPADDRESS = $prevstate"
msg="./isp1_ report.txt" ;;
2.2.2.2) prevstate=". /netmagic. txt"
echo "IPADDRESS = $prevstate"
msg="./isp2_ report.txt" ;;
esac
curstate=`/bin/ ping -c 1 $ipAdd | grep "100% packet loss" | wc -l`
echo "current state= $curstate"
for pstate in `cat $prevstate`
do
echo "previous state==$pstate"
done
if [ $curstate -ne $pstate ] ; then
echo "status changed" ;
if [ $curstate -ne 0 ] ; then
echo "Time: `date` $ipAdd network failed" >> $msg ;
else
echo "Time: `date` $ipAdd network up" >> $msg ;
