Connectivity Watchdog

You might want to monitor your Internet connectivity. To do so the simpliest way is to run a regular task under Administration/Scheduler/Custom 1 e.g.

The besic command would be something like:

/bin/ping -q -c1 8.8.4.4

which however would not perform any action.

To perform an action linked to success (&&) or failure (||) or both append the wanted command

Examples:

/bin/ping -q -c1 8.8.4.4 || /sbin/service wan restart

/bin/ping -q -c1 8.8.4.4 || /sbin/reboot

/bin/ping -q -c1 8.8.4.4 && /usr/bin/logger “Internet available” || /usr/bin/logger “Internet unavailable”

etc
