hi erich
your version has the advantage that the hosts are rotated, so i can poll
much faster. initially i just wanted to ping one host and keep the others as
a reserve in case the first went offline. however this delays recovery, as
the following log shows: 8 minutes before network was up again.
so this brings up the next question, which is how to find reasonable delays
before restarting the network and waiting for the network to go up before
restarting it again.
thanks to all,
kiril

Hi Kiril
If I read your script correctly then there might be a little glitch

Once you have wasted all the hosts in your list you restart your network,
although IMHO this only means that host3.com cannot be pinged.
I believe you want to do something like
#!bin/bash
PING_REMOTE_HOSTS="host1.com host2.com host3.com"
UP=0
while true
do
while [$UP -eq 0]
do
sleep 120
UP = 1 # this would break the inner loop
for HOST in $PING_REMOTE_HOSTS
do
ping $HOST -qc 1 >/dev/null 2>&1
UP &= $? # if any ping returns 0 it is OK
done
done
echo "network is down. restarting..."
/etc/init.d/network reload
sleep 60
done
I have not tested this :-(
