a script

Hi

running testing with 2.6.15, I have this script which I run by
#bash scirptname
echo "working"
exec ifup -a
sleep 5
perl -pi -e 's/"thisIP"/"thatIP"/e' /etc/resolv.conf
echo "done"

it fires up the first 2 liens but not the rest (sleep and the text replacement and the done echo".

how can do this?

thanks

Remove "exec". "man exec" if you want to know what it does.

I'm no expert in scripting, but this is from man exec:

The exec family of functions replaces the current process image with a new process image.

I guess you could try without the exec, just put the ifup -a .
