Subject:   PPP test script
Message-ID:  <199504152223.RAA00952@asylum.asylum.org>
next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help 
here is my initial PPP test script:

if [ `ping -c 5 decker | grep "packet loss" | awk '{ print $4 }'` -gt 0 ]
then
  echo "PPP up"
else
ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep
   pid=`ps ax |grep pppd |grep -v grep|awk '{print $1;}'`
       if [ "X${pid}" != "X" ] ; then
             echo 'killing pppd, PID=' ${pid}
                     kill ${pid}
                     sleep 15
       fi       
# Bring up ppp
/etc/ppplogin
fi

***********************************************************

Here is a simpler revised script that I run under cron:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/etc:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin 
LOGFILE=/var/log/ppp.log
export PATH LOGFILE
 
if [ `ping -c 5 decker | grep "packet loss" | awk '{ print $4 }'` -eq 0 ] ;then
        kill `cat /var/run/ppp0.pid`
        sleep 15
        /etc/ppplogin
        echo "pppd restarted" >> $LOGFILE
fi
 
 
exit

My thanks to pat connor for assistance in making it happen
