Summary:                    possible memory leak
Description: 
I am running this script on a operwrt router with BusyBox v1.4.2 and the
mem usage just keeps rising. is there a way around this?

VPNlist="/etc/storelist" #tunnel list
while :; do
        ping -c 3 4.2.2.2 >&- 2>&- || continue
        # if 4.2.2.2 exists ping will have a exitcode equal to 0 (only
need this check once)

        while read IP STORE JUNK; do # may not need JUNK, but it doesn't
hurt
                ping -c 2 "$IP" >&- 2>&- && continue
                ping -c 3 4.2.2.2 >&- 2>&- || continue
                # if ${IP} doesn't exist ping will have a exitcode not
equal to 0
                ipsec auto --replace $STORE >&- 2>&-
                ipsec auto --up $STORE >&- 2>&- &
        done < "$VPNlist"
done

What shell do you use? 

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 weedy - 06-21-07 09:54

/bin/sh -> busybox

Your comment does not tell us what shell you are using.
So.. What shell do you use? 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

i (ssh'ed in) use ash /bin/ash -> busybox
script uses /bin/sh -> busybox
if this isnt what you mean could you be more specific?

There is no "/bin/sh" shell. Do ls -l /bin/sh, and you will see that it is
most likely a symlink. If it is a symlink to (for example) msh - bingo,
you are using msh. If it is a symlink to /whatever/busybox, look into your
busybox .config file. If you see (for example):

CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_IS_LASH=y

then "sh" is actually lash in your busybox.

like i said /bin/sh -> busybox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 Jul  7 17:05 /bin/sh ->
busybox

but yeah didnt know you ment the config. as you can see its ash
#
# Shells
#
CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_IS_ASH=y
CONFIG_ASH=y
