Hello all,
I've got an interesting situation. Here's a breakdown:
1. Web/email server sitting alone in a basement
2. It needs to remain online as much as possible
3. The network (eth0) occasionally dies if the network goes down... For
whatever reason, it doesn't always come back online when the network does.
4. No one will be in close proximity for a long time to reboot it to fix the
network (this seems to do the trick pretty well).
5. You can't connect to it remotely to restart (eth0 is down - no modem).
So... what do I do? Set up a cron job to reboot it a couple times a day to
fix it in case it happens to be down? That seems to be a bad solution to
this problem.
Perhaps there is a package that will monitor the Internet connectivity
somehow and automatically reboot if there is none? Possibly ping a couple
of remote servers & if we can't reach any of them, restart & try again?
What do ya'll think? I need to implement something this week.
Thanks for any ideas,
Ryan Dlugosz
