Script for SmartWorkx, Conel routers to check connection against 2 IP addresses. Good solution, to engage failover after both servers are not reachable.

Here is the start-up script, which in effect does check of 2 IP addresses

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed when PPP/WAN connection is established.
#
# Script for checking connection by two ping ip addresses
#
# Put checking ip addresses
# change this to IP addresses of your SCADA, etc. servers
PING_IPADDRESS1=8.8.8.8
PING_IPADDRESS2=8.8.4.4

# Put ping period in seconds
PING_INTERVAL=10

# Put max. failed ping count before MWAN restarting
MAX_FAILED_PING=5

PING_TIMEOUT_CNT1=0
PING_TIMEOUT_CNT2=0
