Re: monitor network-interface lo

[Russell Simpkins]

You could also consider a very simple bash script

#!/bin/bash

status=$(ifconfig |grep -c "lo0:")

exit $status

Then run that with the check program with path:

check program myscript with path /usr/local/bin/myscript.sh 
       if status != 0 then alert

Never noticed it didn't work for loopback interface.
Will dormant or carrier on the same path help?

It's the only way I know how, without using ip or ifconfig commands.

You can always develop a status check:

Just trying to help!

Hi,

could you be a little more verbose?

I do

        # cat /sys/class/net/lo/operstate

and get the output

        unknown

Ifconfig shows that lo is up.

The OS is Debian Wheezy, if that matters.
