The script was designed to run every 15 seconds and if a ping failed it runs tshark for a minute. We have a very evasive network issue, that comes and goes in a minute or less and needed a way to run a capture in the moment. I set the script to run every minute, instead and everything works fine, outside of the problem occurring 15 seconds later and ending before the next minute :)</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thanks for checking</div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><b>From: </b>"Joel Breazeale" <joel.breazeale@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"tclug-list" <tclug-list@mn-linux.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Thursday, October 24, 2019 7:54:26 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [tclug-list] bash script not working properly<br></div><br><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><div dir="ltr">I'll bite.<br><div>I notice you use capture.pcapng in Moveit.sh.

However, running the script (ws,sh) via the command line executes properly. I have tried sleep and wait between commands but nothing works, so far.<br>><br>> Ideas?<br>><br>><br>><br>> Raymond Norton<br>> LCTN<br>> 952.955.7766<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota<br>> <a href="mailto:tclug-list@mn-linux.org" target="_blank">tclug-list@mn-linux.org</a><br>> <a href="http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list" target="_blank">http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list</a></div></div>
