I'm unable to fix my wifi internet connection issue, so I thought instead of manually switching on/off wifi and reloading webpage until internet start working if it is possible through script?

  • You could switch on and off with the command nmcli radio wifi on and nmcli radio wifi off with some sleep between, and you could ping some address to see if it works, but really I don't think that this a good procedure to solve connection problems.

  • See github.com/waltinator/net-o-matic.git - Watch for (WiFi) network going down, then do a user-specified thing to fix it.

The following seems to work:



while :
do
echo restarting network manager...
service network-manager restart
echo sleeping for 30 seconds...
sleep 30
echo trying to access a web page...
wget -O /dev/null vecka.nu && exit 0
done
