Yea i get IP via DHCP , well i am using D-Link switches with 24 pc's attached to it so sometimes som pc's doesnt get ip therefore i dun wan the pc to sit idle so at first yes i did thought of making it reboot but after i found the /etc/init.d/network start/stop i am gonna replace that with the reboot command instead so it will stop n start the NIC again untill it gets ip.
of course i did put this script after the NIC is started for the first time by the OS itself but then during the boot my script checks it to ensure it has IP n not jus loopback. coz i wanna ensure the pc is always on the network all the time.
there no other script that reboots the pc but the script that is below somehow something is wrong i dunno wat makes it keep restarting the network forever instead of checking whether it already has IP or not :
i hv a feeling that my code is wrong somewhr pls help... anyone.. ..
Code:
if [!`hostname -i`] then
/etc/init.d/network restart;
else
echo "IP : `hostname -i`";
