SSH This's questions

I am trying to reproduce a situation where a process fails due to a network outage. I was hoping to reproduce this signal with a kill command. A normal kill command is not working. I have taken a look at /usr/include/sys/signal.h to try to find a signal that refers to anything that might be related to a network outage, but with no luck. Has anybody tried to reproduce a network outage with the kill command?

Sorry if this is a newbish question! Please correct me if I am going about this in a completely wrong way.

I am looking for a tool for Solaris that can simulate Network Latency, and possibly have the capability of dropping a certain percentage of packets. I have been googling this for a bit, and I came across an interesting blog post about hxbt, a driver for solaris:

http://www.c0t0d0s0.org/archives/6625-Less-known-Solaris-features-hxbt-or-WAN-emulation.html

It looks like this driver could be really useful to me, but I can't find any more information about it when I click through to the link that the blog entry says I should go to to get it:

http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/download/Community+Group+networking/WebHome/hxbt.tar.gz

Seems like it might have been scrapped?

Does anybody else have any ideas or suggestions?

I have a script on an EC2 instance that remotely starts another instance.

Once this instance has fully loaded (finished booting) I want it to automatically run a bash script, what would be the best way to do this?

I need everything to be fully started, basically the bash script runs a image conversion script (using ImageMagick and executes the "wget" command a few times)

Currently, the script is located here:

/home/root/beginProcess.sh

And I can start it manually by executing

bash beginProcess.sh

RHEL-6.2-Starter-EBS-i386

Also there is an EBS volume attached to this, if that helps, Thanks!
