You might try the APinger port in: ports/net/apinger I started using it a couple weeks ago to locate some connectivity problems, and it's impressive for a small simple utility. It has a startup script, if you wish to run it automatically. -R ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't think there's anything wrong with that solution, and I myself prefer it. (I symlink from a CVSed area). rc.d is very flexible and everything that happens at boot time is all in one (or two :-)) places. And you can run something every time the machine is shut down as well as when it's rebooted. Can't do that with cron :-) £0.02 --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

An entry such as: 0 * * * * /path/to/script.sh This will re-run your script every hour, on the hour. 3.

I would recommend using some nrpe module you write for nagios and/or cacti to monitor and even graph this information.

Re: load script at bootup
Take a look at SmokePing. We use it here to keep track of a mediocre internet connection. It graphs over time what your ping and latency was for any given target. http://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/ I'll let others address the starting at boot time, as I won't be able to describe it good. I will say that you should probably be looking at your /etc/rc.conf file. Make your script accessbile via a myscript_enable=YES call, and you're well on your way. -- S i x F e e t U p | Nowhere to go but open source Silicon Valley: +1 (650) 401-8579 x609 Midwest: +1 (317) 861-5948 x609 Toll-Free: 1-866-SIX-FEET mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sixfeetup.com | Zope/Plone Custom Development Narek Gharibyan wrote: #!/bin/sh Ping -Dc 3600 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx | tail -4 /root/stat date /root/stat echo === /root/stat I wrote this script for collecting ping statistic (after I email to a group the stat file). 1. how can I run this at startup 2. how can I restart this script after 3600 counts down 3.
