really hurt if they lost this file.
But sometimes they work off line. I want to add a line that would

Any suggested approaches? Ping something and if it fails then assume
you’re
offline? Is there an OS status that would indicate this?
Hello Dan,
Command /usr/sbin/scutil, with its -r option, might be of some help
here.
HTH,
