Like every 8 days my mini-computer loses cabled network connection (see original post for details). It happened again today.
Is it every 8 days, like a clock?
I can only say from my emails here to that list that I sent the days it happened: 2., 9, and 16. of July, always during the night before (don't know the hour, just see in the morning that it doesn't work anymore)
Always the night from Saturday to Sunday...
Err, so you're saying it is every seven days, not every eight days?! And always the same day of the week?
Yeah, counting the days gets more complicated when one gets old, it seems :-)
But yes, until now it occurred always in the night from Saturday to Sunday.
What about the time; is that regular?
I don't know.
The last times I repaired it Sunday morning, today I did it in the afternoon. Maybe it stops later the next time?
(you could leave ping in a shell script loop every minute or so to see)
How could I do that so that it only pings once every half an hour and adds the result to a file? When I type "ping ..." it pings endless until I break it with ctrl-c...
use the force Luke, look at the man file for "-i" and "-c"
True, thanks Patrick. In a new terminal you could just start $ while [ 1 == 1 ]; do ping -i 60 -c 10 100.100.100.100; date; done where 100.100.100.100 is whatever network address
