Here's one way to do this. Handling situations such as when this script does not exit or more than one copy of this script is started are left as an excercise... #!/bin/sh # The hostname or IP address of the host that you want to ping. TARGET= while [ 1 ] do /bin/ping -c 4 $TARGET 2>/dev/null >/dev/null && break /bin/sleep 60 done /usr/local/bin/ntp-restart -- Steve Kostecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NTP Public Services Project - http://ntp.isc.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
