My internet has been flaky lately. I wrote a script that logs my internet connection.
I’m running it in cron every minute.
#!/bin/bash log='/home/ulysses/Code/spectrum.log' if nc -zw1 google.com 443; then echo 'Spectrum is up' $(date) >> $log else echo 'Spectrum is down' $(date) >> $log fi |
To view, just cat the log.
cat spectrum.log Spectrum is up Fri Jun 26 15:14:01 EDT 2020 Spectrum is up Fri Jun 26 15:15:01 EDT 2020 Spectrum is up Fri Jun 26 15:16:01 EDT 2020 Spectrum is up Fri Jun 26 15:17:01 EDT 2020 Spectrum is up Fri Jun 26 15:18:01 EDT 2020 |
So, I now have a record when it was up or down.
