The three main resources are

(a) CPU, the performance of this will depends on clockspeed, memory, cache, number, whether program supports multiple processors

Can you put Samba on the Solaris box?

or this..

while read line
do
...
done <data

Change the first line to

#!/bin/sh -x

and capture both stdout *and* stderr, something like...

1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51,56 * * * * fully-qualified-script-path >/var/log/mystdout...

Do you know how to add a crontab entry?

As this needs to be run by root, do the following as root....

1. in some temporarty directory...

2. crontab -l >crontab

3. edit the crontab file
...

I thought you would have something like....

1 * * * * /path/to/my/script/to/do/this/pinging.sh >/var/log/lastpingthing.log

1. You normally have to fully path the script in the crontab file.

2. you may need to fully path the shutdown program in the script as well.

It should be just pinging it three times in the "for" loop, not continually.

Which one are you running?

Post the output of the script...

And post your actual script.

What does "/usr/sbin/ping ip-address" do, does it just say "host is alive" or does it run forever?

Use the Cygwin setup.exe to select the programs you want installed.

#!/bin/sh

DOSHUTDOWN=/usr/bin/true

for d in a b c
do
if /usr/sbin/ping cable-ip
then
DOSHUTDOWN=/usr/bin/false
break
fi
done

if $DOSHUTDOWN
then

Yes, I do encourage you to understand the script line by line. Of course you may have the IP address in /etc/hosts to assist, rather than coding into the script. So if the address changes you only...

"OpenSSH" != "OpenSSL".

"cvs export .." should read out of a CVS repository without the CVS directory entries.

I suggest you test crontab under a normal user account to get a feel for it.

Yes, you don't have the outer while loop with the sleep.

the sleep 300 is part of a loop to sleep for five minutes each loop.

However I recommend you remove the outer loop and install as a cron job.

Search this site for "crontab" for examples.

If...

No, I'm just trying to alert you to an obvious difference in behaviour between Solaris and other platforms.

Normal ping is continuous and emits a trace of packet echo times, Solaris just says...

Give it a go.... :)

Make sure you understand it all before you install it, as it has to run as root to run shutdown.

Did you follow the installation instructions?

#!/bin/sh

while true
do
sleep 300
REBOOT=/usr/bin/true
for d in a b c

I run OpenSSH on both my HPUX 11.11 boxes but I can remember if I had to explicitly install them.

Did you install any GOLD update pack?

Alternatively "source" the script by running with the "." operator, eg period-space-scriptpath

. scriptpath

It depends if you have written them in a portable manner.

It is far better to maintain one set of code that compiles in multiple environments than maintain different sets of code that may end up...

Do you not have a CD-ROM drive?
