How 'bout this:
for (( try=0; try<10; try++))
do
if [ "$(ip link show $1 up)" ]; then
echo "Link is UP"
break
fi
echo "Link is DOWN, rising..."
ip link set $1 up &> /dev/null
sleep 1
done
It works but is bash specific.
Are initscripts supposed to run under plain sh ?? If not, there could
be much optimization and clearing, because bash let you do many things
not used in standard scripts (like the above '&> x', instead of '>x 2>&1' )
If you find it useful, I can turn it into a general function like
timed_retry attempts timeout what_to_do check_for_done
TIA
