Is there a way of establishing how long a link (to the cable modem) has been alive?
I am running a job on my PC which grabs a screen from the internet using a DOS browser (lynx) this job failed as the grabbed screen didn't contain a line of text I was expecting but then my job emails me at work!
I never got the email so I assume the link from the cable modem to the outside world died. I would like to check this before I write another script to check the 1st is still alive when it should be!
