bix.hu and www.yahoo.com are "pingable" test sites.
127.0.0.1 could not be pinged [firewall drops all icmp]
i have a "oneliner" that echoes if theres "internet connection or no".
$ ping -W 1 -c 2 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 2 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && echo "internet connection ok" || echo "no internet connection"
internet connection ok
$ ping -W 1 -c 2 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 2 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && echo "internet connection ok" || echo "no internet connection"
no internet connection
$ ping -W 1 -c 2 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 2 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && echo "internet connection ok" || echo "no internet connection"
no internet connection
$ ping -W 1 -c 2 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 2 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && echo "internet connection ok" || echo "no internet connection"
no internet connection
$ ping -W 1 -c 2 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 2 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && echo "internet connection ok" || echo "no internet connection"
internet connection ok
$
Ok!
But: if i want the "oneliner" to only go along when theres internet connection:
$ while $TORF; do ping -W 1 -c 1 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 1 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && TORF=false || TORF=true; done
$ while $TORF; do ping -W 1 -c 1 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 1 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && TORF=false || TORF=true; done
$ while $TORF; do ping -W 1 -c 1 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 1 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && TORF=false || TORF=true; done
$ while $TORF; do ping -W 1 -c 1 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 1 127.0.0.1 >& /dev/null && TORF=false || TORF=true; done
$ while $TORF; do ping -W 1 -c 1 bix.hu >& /dev/null && ping -W 1 -c 1 www.yahoo.com >& /dev/null && TORF=false || TORF=true; done
$
It just doesn't work.
Goal: if theres no internet connection, then the oneliner must loop until there is internet connection. if theres internet connection the oneliner ends.
what am i missing?
