Well, I figured it out (I think), so this is the code I'm using and it seems to work. Am fully open to someone checking it out and pointing out better ways of achieving the same thing though:

Hey buffoonix

Thanks for the effort. I've been scouring the POD all day :) Like, I say, I'm not a programmer so this is all tough to take in but I guess that is half the fun.

Thanks for the tip...

Hi

I'm not a programmer but am muddling through as best I can. I am trying to set up a PostSearchHook for Radiator (RADIUS server), that carries out an LDAP lookup, and, based on the

Hey all

As a follow-up, I figured it out. So, if anyone is searching for a similar solution, here is my proposed script in its entireity. It is used within OS X. Note that after 5 minutes, I...

Hey aju_kup

Thanks for pointing that error in the loop out to me :) I should know about things like that from previous posts.

Does anyone know how to answer my original query?

Is it possible to have a script run in a loop (waiting for a change of state in the network interface), and if the loop continues for five minutes, to have it email the admin, and carry on in...

Will give it a...

Hi

Is it possible to have a bash script call an external bash script? For instance, I have a series of monitor scripts that check for running services (such as httpd, postmaster). Each monitor...

Hi there

Has anyone seen this behaviour before, and if so, do they know why this happens? I am running this in BASH:

$ export DEV="/usr/sbin/diskutil list | /usr/bin/grep Master | /usr/bin/awk...

Maybe it is because in your cat'd file, the command assigned to the variable HTTPD is not enclosed by backticks? When I run it as you have it displayed, I get the following error:

Hi there

@Dhruva

Thank you for your reply; I think I understand what you are explaining to me, and I have added a "sleep 60" :)

@Blowtorch

Thank you for the information on the backtick. I...

Hi Blowtorch

Thanks for the reply, and the input. I used the method you suggested - running the "ps" inside the while loop - and it worked. What I don't understand is why this did not work in my...
