I prefer to use `host' command
ping take time to run, especially when it do not respond...
here's my script
r...@omega ~ : cat /usr/local/bin/check_connectivity
13:43
#!/bin/sh
# checks local and internet connectivity
# faust - 2010/02/17
host google.com >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ];
then
net=1
echo "Internet connection is UP"
else
net=0
echo "Internet connection is DOWN"
fi
host alpha.faust-network >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ];
then
local=1
echo "Local network is UP"
else
local=0
echo "local network is DOWN"
fi
case `expr $local '*' 2 + $net` in
0) exit 2 ;; # big nothing
1) exit 42 ;; # just internet (uhu?)
2) exit 1 ;; # just local
3) exit 0 ;; # all right!
*) exit 43 ;; # divided by zero?
