Internet connection...


Recommended Posts

Hello:) I got this problem with my internet connection and I want to keep a log of this everytime it stops working...

I am not sure on how it can be detected by a script but i know it is some way...

I only need the script to run in the background then write the Date and Time of the timeout in log file or a text file...

I can find out the rest of the script when I get a clue on how to detect the timeout...

Hopefully you will be able to help me with this:)

Never argue with an idiot, he will just bring you down to his own level and beat you with experience! :D

I couldnt find anything on if it can run constantly in the background and make a log entry on this:S From what i have seen you got to have the "program" up at all times...

you could put Ping("www.google.com") in an infinite loop, and if it fails then write to a log.

edit: well the program does have to be running all the time, but it's still in the background. You don't actually see anything unless you create a GUI, if that's what you're worried about.

Not worried about seeing it no:) Just worried about the memory usage:P

It will contain a small amount of memory constantly right?:)

sure as long as you set the sleep command to a high number. I have it at 5 seconds, you may want to make it longer. I'd say 60 seconds should be fine.

Hehe, thanks:)

The reason I needed help with it was because our internet provider is kinda unstable from time to time. I was supposed to write a "log" on paper each time it went down but from time to time I cant do this since im not here:P
