Two shell scripts which may be of an interest to
the audience
I've written two interesting shell scripts which may be of an
interest the first checks if ping avaible to a specified host and
if there isn't can be used to restart an adsl modem, so the adsl to
reconnect to it's gateway over ppp. I've written this because
everytime the BTK / BTC internet fails usually a modem restart is
needed for the vpn tunnel over ppp between the adsl and the btc
router to be reestablished. This script is supposed to be run on
cron and if no internet logs into the adsl modem and restarts it
logging about the restart into a file. You can check it out from
here
chk_net.sh
. I've also written a small script which aim is to automate the
adding of new virtual hosts into Apache on a Debian system it can
be seen
here . Hope this
would be helpful to someone
At least it
would be for me
