No, that’s a coincidence. I wanted something that: started loud, was easy to recognise, I don’t mind hearing, and my neighbours don’t listen to. Wicked World it is.
Here’s the code by the way, with the echo translated:
lvxInternetCheck () {
while [[ $(ping -c 5 8.8.8.8 | grep -o "100% packet loss") == "100% packet loss" ]]
doecho"No internet at $(date +%R)." ; sleep 300
doneecho"Internet came back at $(date +%R)."
cvlc /[redacted]/08\ -\ Wicked\ World.mp3
}
It’s dirty but it works. (My functions start with “lvx” to avoid the tiny chance that they might clash with system functions.)
The black Sabbath for Internet connection is hilarious. Did you get that from the Bitcoin mining trigger bit on Silicon Valley?
