Tony,

That's fabulous, I did spot on minor flaw, you need to create
/var/log/isp.log if it doesn't already exist, with the correct string
in it,

E.g.
echo `date`" Serivce Up" > /var/log/isp.log

Other wise you get an error "./chk_isp.sh: line 40: [: !=: unary
operator expected"

Thanks again, now I'll have something to look at when the wife
complains the network has been up and down all day :)

Alex.
