Have a pptp connection from SME server to windows 2000 vpn server. I'm looking for a bash script which will periodically (launched from cron) ping a machine on the remote network and restart pptp if it doesn't respond.
I wrote a similar thing for dos years ago which captured the output of ping into a text file, then looked for the string "reply from". I've been googling for ages but haven't found anything. thanks.
