Dear M.I., Thank you for your suggestion of how to conditionally reset my NIC card. I show below my full implementation. We'll see if my FreeBSD3.3 system is more stable now. Here is my root crontab line: * * * * * ~wayne/testNIC.sh Here is my script file testNIC.sh (expanded from your suggestion): #!/usr/local/bin/tcsh ping -c 1 128.252.120.1 > /dev/null || \ (~wayne/testNMB; \ echo RESET NIC CARD by testNIC.sh >> ~wayne/NMB.log; \ ifconfig rl0 down; sleep 1; ifconfig rl0 up) Here is my script file testNMB netstat -m | diff NMB.boring - | grep ">" >> ~wayne/NMB.log date >> ~wayne/NMB.log echo testNMB >> ~wayne/NMB.log netstat -m > ~wayne/NMB.boring If my card is thermally hot, or something (my fan seems okay to me), I'll get one or two outputs from this in my NMB.log, available at http://barnes1.wustl.edu/wayne/NMB for awhile.
