Just wanted to give you some debug info for trying to fix the ‘Network Error’ issue. I modified your script a bit to output the time when it has to restart the OpenSprinkler program. Also, for some reason unknown to me, I was unable to login to the web interface after a restart with your script, but I was able to if I restarted it with the following command:

sudo /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh start

So I created the following script and made a cronjob to run it once a minute:

#!/bin/bash
while ! ps ax | grep -v grep | grep OpenSprinkler > /dev/null
do
  echo "OpenSprinkler not running...restarting...     $(date)"
  /etc/init.d/OpenSprinkler.sh start
sleep 1
done

Here is my log file:

OpenSprinkler not running...restarting...     Thu Apr 23 08:44:01 EDT 2015
OpenSprinkler not running...restarting...     Thu Apr 23 11:31:01 EDT 2015

OpenSprinkler not running...restarting...     Fri Apr 24 16:12:02 EDT 2015

Please keep in mind I had to manually restart the program at the ‘Thu Apr 23 19:34:02 EDT 2015’ timepoint.

Hope this helps.
