Title: Detecting if connected to internet
I’ve written an Applescript that will make a backup of a Filemaker Database with unique name then uses CURL to ftp it to a backup server. This DB is a standalone and I don’t trust the user to make an offline backup for safety purposes. They travel a lot and I’m afraid a stolen or dropped laptop would really hurt if they lost this file.
But sometimes they work off line. I want to add a line that would check to see if they were on the internet and if so, then send the backup, else, not.
Any suggested approaches? Ping something and if it fails then assume you’re offline? Is there an OS status that would indicate this?
