rdrtx1,

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I've just now found a solution similar to what you recommended.

Rather than using 'if' at all I've managed to fit it all into a 'while'

Code:
while [ $ip -le 0 ]
do
        ip=$(ifconfig | grep 'inet ' | grep -v -c '127.0.0.1')
        sleep 2
        echo checking
done | zenity --progress --pulsate --auto-close

Much shorter, and not doing any nasty pkills. Hopefully someone else will find this useful as well. Smilie
