Strange thing. The wireless network I’m currently on seems to randomly disconnect. To prevent having to reconnect from the NetworkManager applet, I wrote the following simple script:
child_process = require("child_process")
network_name = "your-wireless-network-name"
reenqueue_time = 15000
network_check = ->
console.log("started network check")
child_process.exec "ping -c 1 google.ro", (err, stdout, stderr) ->
if(err)
console.log("pinging google failed")
console.log(err)
console.log("stderr:")
console.log(stderr)
child_process.exec "nmcli con down id #{network_name}", (err, stdout, stderr) ->
if !err
child_process.exec "nmcli con up id #{network_name}", (err, stdout, stderr) ->
if err
console.log("nmcli con up failed")
else
console.log("nmcli up succesful")
setTimeout(network_check, reenqueue_time)
else
setTimeout(network_check, reenqueue_time)
else
console.log("pinging succesful")
setTimeout(network_check, reenqueue_time)
network_check()
