Hello, I would like to write a script to monitor my internet
connection status. My home connection goes down fairly often and I
would like to get an idea for just how often it goes down and if
possible how long it goes down for. Could someone help me write a
script that will check my connection to the internet and log whenever
it goes down and possibly how long it goes down for? I want to have
some evidence to give to my ISP that my connection is going down.
Thanks

Assuming it is a PPP connection, type 'man ppp' and read about the files
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown - they should allow you to
echo a line to a log file of your own devising.
