If you are having trouble with Logmein Hamachi starting up correctly, the following script will check to see if the connection is up. If it is, it will attempt to restart and then send you an email when it's done.
You'll need to update these variables with your own data:
email_address='XXXXXXX@gmail.com'
hamachi_network="xxx-xxx-xxx"
hamachi list (from a Terminal window) to get your network ID and IP addresses.
#!/bin/bash # Script to restart the Hamachi connection if it is not working # # user command "hamachi list" to find the hamachi network you are connecting to # email_address='XXXXXXX@gmail.com' hamachi_network="xxx-xxx-xxx" public_ip_address='google.com' # machine_name=`uname -n` case $machine_name in Mac1.local) test_ip_address="25.xxx.xxx.xxx" test_machine="Mac1" ;; Mac2.local) test_ip_address="25.xxx.xx.xx" test_machine="Mac2" ;; *) echo "You are using an unknown machine, named [$machine_name].
