Re^17: show a message only during the sleep time by merlyn (Sage) on Jul 26, 2005 at 00:15 UTC
You still haven't completely specified what you want to do, and what ntop.sh is doing. What does ntop.sh exit with on success or failure, for both starting and stopping? What does ntop.sh say on success and failure, for both starting and stopping? How do you want to wire that in to your program? Do you now understand system() and backquotes? Do you know what "and die" vs "or die" does? It seems so far you're just randomly throwing stuff in (we call that "cargo culting") without understanding. Are you understanding this yet? -- Randal L.

hi Sorry for misunderstanding I'll be happy for any help Did you see my my penultimate posting ? I would like to stop the ntop monitoring tool, if it's running and start it again. I don't want to start it, if it's already already running. after stop with the script ntop says: `Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]: STATS: 0 packets dropped (by ntop) Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd kernel: vr0: promiscuous mode disabled Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]: TERM: Removed pid file (/var/db/ntop +/ntop.pid) Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]: =================================== Jul 27 01:06:48 bsd ntop[9723]: ntop is shutdown...
