Jonathan, That is probably a very good suggestion. However, Paul pointed me to a shell script example that waits until ping returns a successful state which is really all I need. One thing I must remember is that I have to ping an IP address and not a hostname as I don't have network and, therefore, no DNS resolution! I'll ping the router.
