I've a script that runs a DNS update, due to ATT will no longer sell me a static at all. It checks itself, in order to not run multiple times, by checking for a lockfile it creates, and making sure it's not stale. If the lockfile doesn't exist, or if it's stale, it creates or updates the lockfile to make it current. Just FYI, that portion looks like this..... ( modify as appropriate for your needs... ) #!/bin/sh # Use a lockfile containing the pid of the running process # If script crashes and leaves lockfile around, it will have a different pid so # will not prevent script running again. # lf=/tmp/dnsupdate # create empty lock file if none exists touch $lf read lastPID < $lf # if lastPID is not null and a process with that pid exists , exit [ ! -z "$lastPID" -a -d /proc/$lastPID ] && exit ## echo not running # save my pid in the lock file echo $$ > $lf #Now, the DNS updater script -- Cowboy http://cowboy.cwf1.com Hummingbirds never remember the words to songs. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
