network script syntax problem

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



#!/usr/bin/env bash
# file: $0 - script to find useable connection on hughsnet.
let CONNECT=0
while [ $CONNECT -lt 1 ]; do
    sudo -H dhcpcd -k 2>&1 >/dev/null
        sudo -H dhcpcd
ST=$( ping -c 5 8.8.8.8|tail -2 )
if [ $ST !='connect: Network is unreachable' ]; then
CONNECT=CONNECT+1
fi
done

The ST variable doesn't capture the search string the if statement is needing to find. Putting parentheses around a command appears only to capture output of a command and send it to stdout or stderr. In case of bad network connections this script first kills dhcp then reconnects. If successful it need only happen once.
