Shell Programming and Scripting

I think me and vi-curious both gave the answere at the same time

heh, i guess you did.

Thanks a lot guys, that worked just like a charm! =)

Uhm... just.. one more thing.. =(
I get the same problem after the 120 second sleep...
I change that to

Code:

                                sleep 120
                                echo "Trying again! Ping_count is $ping_count."
                                pinger $2

So now i'm back to square one.. =(
It take the $2 argument the first time, but not the second.. and I don't have a clue why..
And I'd guess, since this doesn't work, I guess that looper $2 won't work either... =(

I get the same information with sh -x as last time..
Any suggestions?

simple!!!
when you pass the argument to script first time
include var=$2 imean store $2 in some variable
then pass $var as a argument to pinger after sleep
it should work

Ofcource...
I think I was a bit to tired yesterday, and i got to bed before you answered.
You were right, that was all i needed to do.

Thanks a lot! =)
