My ISP sometimes has short network outages (2-3 minutes). After such an outage, I have to manually restart networking to get my router back online.
Is there a simple and reliable way to test the status of a connection? a script that can runs constantly, supervised by daemontools, and restarts networking after some waiting period is what i am looking for. ping somehow does not work best. the host that i am trying to ping could go offline, dns could fail and constantly pinging some other host seems not particularly friendly to me. i tried also ip addr show | grep eth0 | grep inet, but this also did not really work out, because routing could fail. one could always test all conditions, but before i do this, i would like to ask the list if there is a more elegant way. regards, kiril _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
