Hi,
I'm having a router co-located in a different location. I'm
supposed to check whether the WAN port of that router is up or not. For
doing that right now I'm pinging (ping -c 3 myrouter) to that machine
and verifying (I've written one perl script which pings the link and
according to the exit status it drops a mail to my account). Some times
what happens is , ping won't be able to reach the router , even though
the router is up and returns a fail exit status. B'coz of that I'm
getting mails which doesn't make any sense as the router is really UP.
Is there any other method other than ping to check whether the router is
up or not so that I can use it in my script ? Please help !!!!
regards
arti
