it's just a simple #!/bin/ash script, so nothing to write home about.
It gets the ping time to local server, and times downloading a file using wget.
It's only accurate to the second, so it has its drawbacks.
 
here's a summary:
 
 
#Get Pingtime 
PINGTIME="$(ping -c $PINGCOUNT $PINGHOST | awk -F/ '/^round/ { print $4 }')" #Start Timer EPOCH_START=$(date +%s) #Get File wget $FILEURL -O wget.tmp --timeout=$WGET_TIMEOUT #Stop Timer EPOCH_FINISH=$(date +%s) #Calculate download time (seconds) DOWNLOAD_TIME=$(($EPOCH_FINISH-$EPOCH_START))   The rest of the script is just messing about with variables and appending to a logfile... As you can see from the data it produces http://i.imgur.com/VXTjJ6e.jpg it proves the point clearly that there's an issue with my local exchange during "peak times" i.e. 4pm to 2am 7 days a week.   Rev.
