Hi all:
I have a DHCP question (@tampabay.rr.com - via eth0) that might
apply to any network connection. (I don't know)
Twice now after a cold boot I tried to get my E-mail and it
was operating at sub-light speed, something was seriously wrong.
I killed dhcpd (my way to disconnect), my script file displays
"route" before and after, getting the before information took
about 30 seconds, rather than under 2 which is `normal.
When I ran "net-up" everything was perfectly normal, both times.
Does any connection test/s come to mind (for this) that I can
put in my boot up procedures to send me an alarm, being a HAM
these are sent through the speakers in Morse code, so there's
no chance I will miss it/them.
and
Is this the best way to kill the connection via eth0?
It would also be nice to be able to quickly test if there
is a connection or not, in case my weak mind runs my net-up
script when it is already running. (my attempts have failed)
