I use ADSL connection, and my connection has an "unexplicable" problem!
So I've decided to use a pl in my cron... :) but, I am wandering if the best way to do it is using:
(for example)
#!/usr/bin/perl

@ips = ('200.219.199.32','204.71.200.75');

foreach $ip (@ips) {
    $ping = system("ping -c 1 $ip");

    if ($ping < 256) { # 
        next;
    } elsif ($ping = 256) { # timed out
        # do something to restart the connection
        # probably, set internal modem (not my Adsl modem)to pick up t
+he phone line, and hangup, to cause a "sync break"!
    }
}

If someone could give me a "light", or a sugestion about the best way to do it!

tks to all!
