Hi

I am not so good in scripting..trying ot learn it...need guidance of the experts in shell scripting..
Let me explain the scenario first..
a server MX1 is connected to another server MX2[199.8.7.29] through vpn..every 5 minute a script runs to test vpn connectivity between the 2 servers.when the vpn goes down a mail is sent as notification from MX..here is the shell script i have written on MX1..

sleep 1
l=`nmap -P0 -p25 199.8.7.29`
echo $l > /var/log/vpncon.log && echo $l >> /var/log/monscrpt.log
grep -qi "open" /var/log/vpncon.log
j=`echo $?`
if [ $j -ne 0 ]; then
echo Partner VPN Failed >> /var/log/monscrpt.log && echo $l | mailx -s "Partner VPN Failed" 'aarti_sankhe@cactus.com'
fi

the scipt only sends an email when the vpn goes down..
my next task is when the vpn comes up i need to send a mail form this script hat the vpn is up now..
please suggest.
Thanks in advance..
