Bug thank you guys!!

thanks for the tips, yep it is address not adress, my mistake Smilie, its better the way you wrote the script, but i still have a problem with the if conditional.

when it compares the ping results it executes both sentences and writes:

148.202.15.70 is alive
148.202.15.70 is dead

there has to be something wrong with that if, i dont know what it is exaclty...
i have also tried comparing strings with the same mistake, i dont know why it executes both commands...

pong=$ipadr" is alive"
alive=`ping $ipadr`
if (test "$pong"="$alive")

any idea of what's wrong this if?

SENDMAILCONFIG(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 SENDMAILCONFIG(8)

NAME
sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems SYNOPSIS
sendmailconfig [--no-reload] DESCRIPTION
sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems. In the simplest case, you may run this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file /etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of sendmailconfig will preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file. Normally sendmailconfig will ask if you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will avoid this question. FILES
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf /etc/mail/sendmail.cf actual sendmail configuration file /etc/mail/sendmail.cw names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration /etc/mail/sendmail.ct names of trusted users in the standard configuration SEE ALSO
