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?
Not that I know. I've seen people pinging
Google.
