I searched the forums and saw this asked once but not answered with an
actual example macro or script.
Basically I want to reboot my router whenever the computer detects the
connection is down. I know I can right a macro to check a url and wait for a
response or timeout, but I wondered if someone had already got this
working as I just know I will hit lots of corner cases and problems.
If someone has a time tested way to d this it would be great if you were
willing to share.
A binus would be to reboot if the router is also slow, but not completely
dead.

Here's what I use...
Code:
10 Jump if( {INTERNET FLAG}=0, 999, 1)
20 Jump if( ph_ping( "google.com", 128) < 0, 1, 999)
30 Jump if( ph_ping( "yahoo.com", 128) < 0, 1, 999)
40 Formula ph_playsound( "ralert.wav", 0)
50 TTS "Internet connection down! Resetting D S L modem."
60 Macro DSL OFF
70 Create Timed Event DSL ON ph_relativedatetime( today(), 1) |
|
|
I use the GV INTERNET FLAG as an enable for this routine, so that I can manually disable it if necessary.

Heh. I use macros for device control so that I only need to update one location to cover module/function/technology changes...
DSL OFF:
10 Device Control INSTEON+DSL MODEM+OFF
DSL ON:
10 Device Control INSTEON+DSL MODEM+ON
