I have had some problems trying to update a machine with sendmail. I have applied your script but changed the ntpd service to sendmail.
I have NetworkManager running, but it does not do anything. I use dialup to connect and technically do not use it. I ran the modified script with sendmail in place of ntpd and I got
[root@localhost Documents]# ./sendmail-script
./sendmail-script: line 14: [: ==: unary operator expected
./sendmail-script: line 26: [: ==: unary operator expected
I tried to edit it to find what I did wrong, but
[root@localhost Documents]# gedit sendmail-script &
[1] 15012
I could not find where or what was wrong. So I manually checked the status of sendmail and I got the following:
[root@localhost Documents]# service sendmail status
sendmail (pid 21862) is running...
sm-client (pid 21871) is running...
[1]+ Done gedit sendmail-script
[root@localhost Documents]# service sendmail restart
Shutting down sm-client: [ OK ]
Shutting down sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sendmail: [ OK ]
Starting sm-client: [ OK ]
[root@localhost Documents]# service sendmail status
sendmail (pid 15092) is running...
sm-client (pid 15101) is running...
I now try to update the machine to linux counter and I get:
[olivares@localhost Documents]$ ./machine-update -i
/bin/df: `/home/olivares/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected
Here you can specify some info that the script can't know for itself
Your Linux Counter reg#, if any [381662]:
Your machine's counter reg#, if any [382519]:
--------------------------------------------------------
This is what will be sent to the Linux Counter if you
run the program with the -m switch. Now, NOTHING IS SENT
--------------------------------------------------------

[olivares@localhost Documents]$ ./machine-update -m
/bin/df: `/home/olivares/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected
I tried the machine-update-beta script from linux counter and I got:
[olivares@localhost Documents]$ chmod +x machine-update-beta
[olivares@localhost Documents]$ ./machine-update-beta -i

I tried to send sample mail to my yahoo mail(this one) and the one at gmail and the message(s) did not get through.
I have known that at certain times the linux counter site is down or does not accept incoming mail. But I have not been successfull for a while to update either of my machines and I wanted to successfully update the machines and update the latest one that I have.
TIA,
Antonio
