I am using a script donated by one of our group to keep my internet connection [hopefully] alive. I am having some problem w/the CRON e-mailing an error to me each & every time it executes --whether as root or <user>. The error follows: '/bin/sh: Line 1: /usr/local/bin/ck_internet: Permission denied' For some odd reason is is not appearing as a script, though right out of the box it states in line 1: '#!/bin/sh' as any script I've made does & is recognized. What's wrong!? Script follows: #!/bin/sh # # Script to check if modem is disconnected & try reconnecting # result=$(cinternet -i ppp0 -s | grep disconnect) #Checks the status of device dsl0 for the word 'disconnect' and stores the #result in a variable called 'result' if [ -n "$result" ] #Test to see if the value is not NULL then #OK the interface is down cinternet -i ppp0 -A #Start the interface. sleep 10 else #The interface is up - Just exit exit 0 fi -- ...CH SuSE 9 Works Linux user# 313696 Linux box# 199365
