[SOLVED] Execute a command at specific time.

Hello.
I disabled my NIC by "ifdown eno1" but I want to enable it automatically after 10 second. I mean is "ifup eno1" executed automatically after 10 second.

Thank you.

Code:

ifdown eno1;sleep 10;ifup eno1

Can I do it by "timeout" command?

It's your system, try it, let us know how you get on.

From the man page:

Quote:

Start COMMAND, and kill it if still running after DURATION

Seems to be doing the opposite of what you want. What's wrong with sleep?

Can't work. My NIC disconnected but after 10 second it never enabled.

Problem solved, I forgot to put "sudo":

Code:

$ sudo ifdown eno1;sleep 10;sudo ifup eno1

Thank you.
