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 job?
Edit: doesnt matter, i understand if i set it to run as a cron job, it will just run the whole script through every time, but would the system shutdown on the first failed ping?
Ok thanks, il do that now, in the script you provided do i replace cable-ip with the ip of my modem?
