If you have cron installed on your computer put this file in /etc/cron.d/
cron.ping:
# /etc/cron.d/cron.ping: crontab fragment for pinging
# Ping Machine every 30 minutes
*/30 * * * * root ping -c 1 your_machine 1>/dev/null
If you don't have cron
Here's the script you asked:
#! /bin/sh
typeset -i toto=0
while [ $toto ]
do
ping -c 1 machine 1>/dev/null
sleep 1800
done
Don't forget to replace 'machine' by the name or the IP address of the
computer who has problem :)
