Checking Connection before launching a session

[Hook]

I'd like to check my internet connection before launching a session in a lavishsoft script.

Any ideas on how I'd do that?

Thanks,

You may need an extension to use the InnerSpace HTTP service.

You wouldn't need an extension to use that, you could use the httpget command. However, this is not reliable. There are known issues with the built-in web requests in Inner Space, and it is not a priority to fix. If you do an http request through IS and the web server can't be contacted (e.g. the web server is down, your connection is busted, etc), IS may stop processing web requests until it is restarted, rendering this solution useless.

I would recommend building a .NET application if this is a necessity.

How about something of a cluge like redirecting a system ping command to a file and parsing it. I don't need to do this often.

Go ahead. I don't see this as a personal use issue, sounds to me like I should be charging you commercial rates for such support...

Appreciate the responses. Was mainly just making sure I wasn't missing some simple command after scanning all the wiki pages.
