Not sure if this should be in here, but i couldn't see anywhere else it could go.

I'm trying to write a script that would set the IP address of the network card. It works, however i'm wondering if there is a more efficient way to code this?

What i've got so far seems like a lot of code for what it is doing.

Code bellow:

#!/bin/bash

STRING="Working"

RECEVIED="1 received"

PINGFILE="./ping.txt"

echo $STRING



#Try DHCP

dhclient



#ping external address and output to file

ping -c 1 www.google.com > /root/Desktop/ping.txt



#check for PING reply from file

if [[ -n $(grep "$RECEVIED" /root/Desktop/ping.txt) ]]; then ./Desktop/Start_Stuff.sh && exit

else echo "shit" && # Set IP address

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.252

ifconfig eth0 up

fi

#ping external address and output to file

ping -c 1 www.google.com > /root/Desktop/ping.txt



#check for PING reply from file

if [[ -n $(grep "$RECEVIED" /root/Desktop/ping.txt) ]]; then IPADDRESS="192.168.1.252" && ./Desktop/Start_Stuff.sh && exit

else echo "shit" && # Set IP address

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.252

ifconfig eth0 up

fi



#ping external address and output to file

ping -c 1 www.google.com > /root/Desktop/ping.txt



#check for PING reply from file

if [[ -n $(grep "$RECEVIED" /root/Desktop/ping.txt) ]]; then IPADDRESS="192.168.0.252" && ./Desktop/Start_Stuff.sh && exit

else echo "shit" && # Set IP address

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.252

ifconfig eth0 up

fi



#ping external address and output to file

ping -c 1 www.google.com > /root/Desktop/ping.txt



#check for PING reply from file

if [[ -n $(grep "$RECEVIED" /root/Desktop/ping.txt) ]]; then IPADDRESS="10.0.0.252" && ./Desktop/Start_Stuff.sh && exit

else echo "shit" && # Set IP address

ifconfig eth0 down

ifconfig eth0 10.0.1.252

ifconfig eth0 up

fi



ping -c 1 www.google.com > /root/Desktop/ping.txt



if [[ -n $(grep "$RECEVIED" /root/Desktop/ping.txt) ]]; then IPADDRESS="10.0.1.252" && ./Desktop//Start_Stuff.sh && exit

else echo "shite, its no working" &&



exit
