if host pings execute command

Published by Silveira on 14 November, 2013

#!/bin/sh
HOST="silveiraneto.net"
if ping -c 1 $HOST > /dev/null
then
   echo your command
fi

replace silveiraneto.net for your desired hostname or ip
ping sends only one package (-c 1) and ignores the text output
a ping is successful returns 0 and the if proceeds
replace the echo line with your command

Nem sÃ³ de morte vive o kill.

Suponha que vocÃª tem um processo chamado program e quer congelar seu funcionamento. Para congela-lo sem mata-lo vocÃª pode mandar um sinal SIGSTOP com:

kill -s stop `pidof program`

Para ressuscitar o mesmo processo:

kill -s cont `pidof program`
