hi,

i wrote a batch that runs on windows user logon and pings a website. if ping is succesful, it starts various tools (like mail icq etc). otherwise if i'm offline i don't need those tools running on my notebook.
but now i want to enhance this batch. i know there is a tool called srvany.exe which makes it possible to run a bat(oder exe) file as a service. yet i dont know whats the best way to write a batch which constantly checks if internet-connection is available. or should i keep pinging that website forever? maybe one of you know of another option for me to solve this issue, because i'm still new to batch scripting.

thanks in advance.

Hi,
to the specifications i have made the batch script for you,

you need to change in one line while you execute the code,
it is the path of your srvany.exe ,
echo statements are for your undersanding purpose,
the code was

connect.bat


@echo off

set server=www.google.com

:check

ping %server% > NUL
if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
@echo internet was conncted
goto working
) else (
@echo internet was notconnected
goto check
)
:working
echo write code to call srvany.exe
:update
ping %server% > NUL
if %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
@echo internet was connected
goto update
) else (
@echo internet was notconnected
goto check
)
@echo on


//this executes continuously, updates connection for every time and calls srvany.exe only once after getting internet connection
