Hi !
Lately after install of new hardware, I upgraded to FreeBSD 7.0 AMD64.
Problem is that every few days (5 or so) computer network connection is
lost, if I restart computer everything is OK again....
What I need is script that will determine if connection is valid and if
not restarting the machine. I plan to run this script by cron every
hour... I am very lousy with writing scripts of anykind, so I would need
little help from you...
Script must do following things:
1. Check if connection is alive by pinging one site, www.google.com
should be good example
2a) If connection is ok, script is finished
2b) There is no response following stuff must happen:
a.) Wait for 10 minutes (or some specified time) and try step 1
again if fails following thing are done
b.) Write line into log that connection is failed
c.) Inject mail message to local sendmail instance (so that
mail is sent after restart)
d.) Reboot computer
If someone knows about script that does this things, I would be very
thankful if he/she could help me. If not I would be thankful for any
help in creating such script.
Thank you in advance.
Andy
