loging internet connection

gubak · 05-24-2005, 01:48 AM

I use RedHat 9.
I am working to a firm. We have a very bad internet connection (wireless, 256 kbps, but we have many times break in our internet connection).
My boss wants me to make a daily statement about our internet connection.

Is it possible to make a script which runs the ping command every 10 minutes and save the ping result to a file?

Thank you!

Does this help?

#/bin/bash
echo "Ctrl-Z to finish ping test"
while true;
do
date >> pingtest.log
ping -c 3 testsite.on.net >> pingtest.log
echo "-------------------------------------" >> pingtest.log
sleep 600;
done
