ping cronjob problem
Hi all,
I'm trying to write a shell script that will ping a site and and write the date and 1 or 0 (for success or no success) to a file. it looks roughly like this: #/bin/sh set mydate = `date` set myvar = `ping -c 1 hostname | grep -c "100%"` if ($myvar == 1) then echo $mydate" 0" >> banneruptime.txt else echo $mydate" 1" >> banneruptime.txt endif It works when I call it from the commandline, but not when i call it from a cronjob. On my MacOS X machine ping resides in /sbin, so I added that to the cronpath. But I get a "syntax error: unexpected end of file" error. Any ideas? Thanks.

Call me stupid but I thought I had tried everything before posting. I got it to work, I was using /bin/csh in the script but /bin/sh in the cronjob. Added "SHELL=/bin/csh" and now it works.
