问题
This is my first Bash script. I have a WiFi issue with my Debian machine. I'm not here to ask about the cause, but rather how to put a band-aid on the issue with Bash. My WiFi will drop out at a random time, usually every 12-15 minutes. I use SSH on this server, and do not want to have to run ifdown wlan0
and ifup wlan0
(which reconnects the WiFi) manually from the physical server.
The function of this Bash script is to attempt to connect three times. If it fails three times, it will give up. Otherwise, every three seconds it will check whether or not my server is connected by attempting to ping Google.
#!/bin/bash
ATTEMPTS=1
function test_connection {
ping -c 1 www.google.com
local EXIT_CODE=$?
if [ $EXIT_CODE -eq 0 ]
then
return true
else
return false
fi
}
function reset_connection {
ifdown wlan0
ifup wlan0
EXIT_CODE=$((EXIT_CODE+1))
}
function connection_test_loop {
if [ $ATTEMPTS -ge 3 ]
then
echo CONNECTION FAILED TO INITIALIZE ... ATTEMPT $ATTEMPTS FAILED ... EXITING
exit
fi
if ! [ test_connection ]
then
echo CONNECTION DROPPED ... ATTEMPTING TO RE-ESTABLISH CONNECTION ... ATTEMPT $ATTEMPTS
reset_connection
fi
}
test_connection
if [ $? ]
then
echo CONNECTION PRE-ESTABLISHED
watch -n 3 connection_test_loop
else
echo CONNECTION FAILED TO INITIALIZE ... ATTEMPTING TO RESET CONNECTION ... ATTEMPT $ATTEMPTS
reset_connection
if [ $? ]
then
echo CONNECTION ESTABLISHED
watch -n 3 connection_test_loop
else
echo CONNECTION FAILED TO INITIALIZE ... ATTEMPT $ATTEMPTS FAILED ... EXITING
exit
fi
fi
I've isolated the issue I'm having with this script. It lies in calling the connection_test_loop
function with watch
. I've been unable to find any information as to why this isn't performing as expected and running the function every three seconds.
回答1:
It's possible that watch
is not aware of your connection_test_loop function. You can try adding an export below the test_connection to perhaps solve the issue:
test_connection
export -f connection_test_loop
...

When calling watch
, you may need this syntax:
watch -x bash -c connection_test_loop
回答2:
I have multiple aliases and functions that used to not work with watch
until I created a function that wraps the watch
command like this, inspired from @l'L'l accepted answer:
# fishshell
function watch
command watch -n 0.2 -x fish -c "$argv"
end
# bash
function watch() {
watch -n 0.2 -x bash -c "$@"
}
# zsh
watch() {
watch -n 0.2 -x zsh -c "$@"
}
The only inconvenient I see here is that you can't pass more watch arguments if you want to, for sure me I added the -n 0.2
flag to make it refresh every 0.2 seconds, if you have other flags that you like to add you will need to add them here beforehand.
Personally I only use fishshell
so I hope the others are not broken, don't hesitate to edit the answer to fix the commands!
Also as a bonus for the lazy that often use watch: alias w=watch
