It runs forever and never stops.. why is it doing it? does it have anything
to do with this crontab? :
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
HOME=/
# run-parts
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
# 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
# mrtg stuff
# */5 * * * * /opt/mrtg/run/mrtg /opt/mrtg/run/mrtg.cfg
# mail ip addy
# 05 */6 * * * /sbin/ifconfig >/opt/currentip
# 10 */6 * * * /bin/cat /opt/currentip |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# Ping for conectivity
01 1 * * * ping -c1 203.57.130.34 || /sbin/ifdown ppp1 && /sbin/ifup ppp1
The line above this one I think is the culprit.. But I don't understand why
it never stops.. what am I missing?
Any help would be great thanks..
