Scripting help for autostart

[arris69]

Hello together,

I need a little bit of help with bash scripting. I want to modify SamyGo.sh a little bit and do not really know the right linux command for this. What I wanted to is the following:

1. if (remoteip is reachable) { do something }
How can I do "remoteip is reachable" in a programmatic way?

Code: Select all

ping -c 2 10.0.0.99 || echo "host 10.0.0.99 down"

Code: Select all

ping -c 2 10.0.0.99 && echo "host 10.0.0.99 up"

2. if(smb share is mounted correctly) { do something }
How can I do "smb share is mounted correctly" also in a programmatic way?

what you mean with "mounted correctly"?
btw. you can look into the init scripts of extensions pack to see how to check hosts/mounts etc....

Thank you very much for your help

thank you very much arris

i have another question: might there been also something possible like:

while(tv has not an ip adress) { wait }
if(ping to remoteip succeed) { do something }

it's all possible. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-7.html
but i recommend not to write one a big fat script to handle all possibilities what you get in your mind.
better use the "extensions pack" it's more simple and linux style, you can add also your own scripts

i think you'll find the wiki page and the support threads
