We have a script that is run via cron when
we want to keep an eye on one of our remote sites. It could be adapted for
whatever your needs are.
Here it is:
####
if [ "$#" -eq "1" ]
then
NETWORK=$1
else
exit 1
echo "No Network Specified" |
mail -s "Sniff_stats.sh: No Network Specified" \
me@xxxxxxxxxxxx
fi
DATE=`date +%m%d%y_%H%M`
ping -c 120 ${NETWORK}.252 >
/root/${NETWORK}_ping_${DATE} 2>&1 &
/usr/sbin/tethereal -a duration:120 -f
"net ${NETWORK}.0 mask 255.255.255.0" -ieth0 -s 68 -F libpcap -w
/root/${NETWORK}_capture_${DATE}
sleep 5
grep "rtt min"
/root/${NETWORK}_ping_${DATE} >> /root/${NETWORK}_ping_sum.txt
####
Here is my crontab entry:
*/5 7-17 * * *
/usr/local/bin/sniff_stats.sh 10.102.44 >/dev/null 2>&1
The argument to the script (10.102.44) is
the network I am interested in.
