Hi

I want to run a cron job in /etc/crontab that runs (ifconfig em0 down; ifconfig em0 up) if my cables static ip gateway can't be pinged but I can't figure it out. I can't get the syntax that runs in the command window, to then put intot the crontab....

Can anyone help me?

Here's what I'd use:

ping -c 1 a.b.c.d; TESTV=$?; if [ $TESTV != 0 ]; then `ifconfig em0 down`; fi
