HI All, can anyone help with this bash script?

It's not really working like I need it to be. I'm trying to add this to
everyone's logon profile and run it without the console ICMP replies showing
up while each person is connected (to keep their connections alive). Then,
once they log off, it closes the script.
Any scripting experts out there that can tweak this? Thank you so much for
your time. -Anne
Also, if you are talking about firewall timeouts then this wont actually
help as the timeouts tend to be flow based, not source/dest ip based.
If they use something like putty, then you can enable tcp keepalives
which will probably do what you are after.
Anyway, to answer your query.
#!/bin/bash
#
while true; do
ping -c1 some.ip.address > /dev/null 2>&1
sleep 60
done
