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

If there really is nothing in the ports collection or google, you might
start with pinging from a cron job. Something like:
#!/bin/sh
ping -c 1 my.isps.main.server.example.com 2> /dev/null > /dev/null
echo `date`: Ping returned $? >> /var/log/ispevidence.log
HTH,
Micah
