I tried the suggestion of Crystal but sure launching in the end the prompt string change command from shell make the prompt string change happening. As I would tranform all in an rc script the problem remains changing the prompt string from inside my test script..
thx both #!/bin/sh p="wiz$PWD\$ " g=`cat /etc/mygate` ping -q -L -c 1 -w 1 $g > .nettest.log 2>/dev/null r1=`cut -d r -f 4 -s .nettest.log` if [ "$r1" -eq "et=-1"]; then export PS1="$p" echo 0 else export PS1="ww-$p" echo 1 fi #echo '"done." I'm launching it from the shell of my user. Evrything is fine, the network status change get detected (beside network latency) but no prompt string change happens. PS: I have no configured email client on my station so I did a text scansion of a photo of my screen with my mobile. Some characters maybe can be replace with special chars or ocr equivalents. dan
