IPv6 link checker/restarter (linux)
![[si]](/s/countries/si.gif) Shadow Hawkins on Tuesday, 04 January 2005 11:14:29
i've just created a simple link checker script for linux. just add the following script to your /etc/cron.hourly
---cut-here---
POPIPv6="2001:15c0:65ff:17::1" # POP IPv6
RunIPv6="/etc/rc.d/rc.ipv6 restart" # path to your IPv6 restart script
ping6 -c 1 $POPIPv6
if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then $RunIPv6
#just uncomment following three lines to send mail notification
#mail -s 'IPv6 restart' root@localhost << EOF
#IPv6 pinging failed. Restarting ipv6 connection...
#EOF
fi
---cut-here---
this script is fully flexibile and can be updated with some sort of mailer to notify about link condition, ...
hope it helps anyone out there...

Why would one need to restart a tunnel? I have never had to do this in the quite long time I have been doing tunneling stuff.

i had a tunnel from some other provider some time ago... and the link constantly dropped, i didn't found out why... that's why i had to restart tunnel...
