; i'm running ps, grepping to see if a service is running, either stopping or
; starting the service , then echoing an output
Can you provide more information about what service you're trying verify?
Is it something that is supposed to be running continuously? If so, why
isn't it? Can you perhaps do this more elegantly using && ?
More information please.
--------------------------
script one internet-start
looks to see if diald is running
if it is echo internet is up
else diald start
echo starting internet
script-two internet-check or(sleep 180)
looks to see if diald is running
if it is echo internet is up
else diald stop
echo stopping trying to connect,
(i have had diald connecting successful but then being kicked out because of
whatever reason by the isp, diald maybe will stop after 3 unsuccessful dials but
in this case will call until the isp fixes it's end, well that's my reason
anyway)
script-three internet-stop
looks to see if diald is running
if it is diald stop
else echo internet is already down
the web page could has a big red icon saying whether diald is running without
any user action,
i'm running e-smith 4.0, modified red hat
e-smith has authorised users in a group so the page can be password protected
some perl scripts are in a cgi-bin which allow root access, can i use this
mechanism to run these scripts (or fragments in php)
