[Cooker] Script for internet ;-)
I made a simple script to restart internet connection. With a litle hacking I think this can be useful :-). I run it as a cron job every 2 minutes. #!/bin/bash temporal='/tmp/internetstat.tmp' if [ -f $temporal ]; then echo Este script ya está en ejecución. exit 0 fi touch $temporal if ifconfig ppp0 ; then printf Conexión ppp0 activa.\n printf Verificando conectividad.\n if ping -c 6 www.yahoo.com ; then printf Hay acceso a Internet.\n else printf Desactivando conexión a Internet.\n /etc/init.d/internet stop killall pppd printf Activando conexión a Internet.\n delay 2 /etc/init.d/internet start /etc/init.d/ddclient restart fi else printf Conexión ppp0 no detectada.\n printf Probando conectividad...\n if ping -c 6 www.yahoo.com ; then printf Hay internet!!!\n else printf Desactivando conexión a Internet.\n /etc/init.d/internet stop killall pppd printf Activando conexión a Internet.\n delay 2 /etc/init.d/internet start /etc/init.d/ddclient restart fi fi rm -f $temporal exit 0
[Cooker] Sendmail related problems
I know Postfix is the default smtp server in Mandrake, but if you are going to provide Sendmail as an alternative smtp server, please then pay attention on it and posts about it. Problem 1- Two weeks ago I reported a problem related to the /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail script. Tired of this problem :-( I decided to uninstall sendmail and to give a chance to postfix. Problem 2- After one day running postfix an old problem related to other post about MAILTO= option of /etc/crontab disappeared. Today I uninstalled postfix to go back again to sendmail and the Problem 2 appeared again. May be a crond delivering problem that make it uncompatible with sendmail? I forget to mention that all tests was maded in a computer running an up to date Cooker system (urpmi --auto-select every day). Ah, sorry about the understandable of my syntax. Soy de América del Sur, Uruguay ;-) y en este país se habla español.
