# Variables for editing 
PHONE="08XXXXXXX"
SMSC="+2XXXXX"
FILE="/scripts/data/down"
LOG="/var/logs/line"
MACLIST="Cpt PE Blm" # Entries in host file
DATE=`date|cut -c1-19`

echo "---------------" >> $LOG
echo $DATE >> $LOG
echo "---------------" >> $LOG
for M in $MACLIST ; do
    ping -c1 $M 2> /dev/null >/dev/null
    if [ $? != 0 ]; then
            echo $DATE > $FILE
            echo $M "is down" >> $FILE 
            gnokii -sendsms $PHONE --smsc $SMSC < $FILE
