To feel safe, I'd want to do the network check in a separate

detects failure rather than waiting for it). So I'd use a
backgrounded shell command which creates a temp file, and have the
real app check for that file being created/updated. Could be a ping
shell command, or a small standalone which loads a url, or anything
similar - as long as it's a separate process.

We are finally testing this.
Could I ask a favor?
Would someone who is behind a proxy server or corporate firewall test
this code:
on mouseUp
put "ping -c 1 google.com" into tCmd
open process tCmd FOR update
wait 1 second with messages
read from process tCmd until empty
put it
close process tCmd
end mouseUp
?
The question is:
Will this code return a valid IP (in "it") even when normal Revolution
ftp commands will not work?
I am hoping the answer is "NO".
If this works, it may mean, for the first time I'm aware of, we all
have a way for checking if connected that will NEVER hang Revolution!
Yipeee!
Thanks!
