I want to have one of my routers send out a ping every 5 minutes or so, what's the best way to automate that? I'm looking at the kron scheduler now and I've at least gotten the kron job created but the scheduling is still not where I want it. What I'm after spcificaly is this; ping 10.10.1.12 source 10.10.2.12.
Maybe I should be looking at more of an ip sla but I'm not sure I can specify the source address of the pings. This will be going over an ipsec vpn, thanks.
