Right, so i have got it to work, only by actually inputting every time i want it to run into the crontab, but now the next problem is that it wont do a clean shutdown :confused:

Still cant get it to work.

Yeah it has a serial port but i cant get it to work with solaris, thats why i had this idea.

The original idea was to have more then one address to ping but i decided that becuase the machine is...

Double checked everything, this script doesnt want to run from cron :(

Yeah so when i edited it, and use crontab -l it shows up. i restart the machine and nothing.

Oh, i thought you just had to use crontab -e and add it from there.

hmm still no luck, it works fine aslong as i run it manually, putting it in that file doesnt seem to make any diffrence atall.

I have the full path to the script in the crontab file, hmm the full path to the shutdown program, could i ask what this would be with solaris 10?

just to make sure

in the crontab to run every...

One problem, the script runs forever. Can you please edit it so it only runs for say 10secs constantly when it is executed.

Ignore, mistake.

Thanks, il try the code as it is as root first. Il post the result hang on.

I cant get this to work. Could you rewrite it quickly for me so it is ready to be installed as cron pinging 192.168.100.1?

To test the script i just put the ip address straight in.

I have defined the script in the cron file to run every min as root in vmware.

If i pull the wire on the modem and leave for 5 mins the...

Ok thanks, il do that now, in the script you provided do i replace cable-ip with the ip of my modem?

Is this the correct way to setup the crontab, for the script to run every min?

I know how to setup file systems, samba, perform basic system administration but im very rusty on the scripting side of things.

could i ask what would be the diffrence if i installed it as a cron...

Thankyou!

Would the script run every so many seconds by itself? Sorry about all the Q's iv been using solaris about 3 days.

Il tell you the truth i dont really understand it :)

Yeah i can sort the root thing out i hope, how would i go abouts installing it?

Thanks! would this work with solaris 10?

I have a unix machine which is on a UPS with only about 15mins battery life, what i would like to happen is the unix machine shutdown safely if the power fails. The way i want to do it, would have...

anyone? :(

Hi, i would like to create a script that shuts down the system if the power fails, basicly the solaris box would load the script at startup.
