# wait-for-internet
So that I don't mash Refresh on a web page while I'm waiting for my laptop to have a remote connection.
```
Command line utility that waits till you have an internet connection.
Usage: wait-for-internet [OPTIONS]
Options:
-t, --timeout Exits if a successful connection is not made within seconds
-q, --quiet Don't print any warning/log messages
-w, --wait-time Time to wait between failed requests [default: 1]
--text Text to display while waiting [default: ]
-h, --help Print help (see more with '--help')
-V, --version Print version
```
Exits successfully once it makes a successful request, see the [online](https://github.com/jesusprubio/online) crate for which URLs/fullbacks it uses to check for a remote connection.
## Install
Install [cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html), then:
```
cargo install wait-for-internet
```
## Example Usage
In bash/shell scripts, I litter `wait-for-internet` wherever I'm paranoid about not having an internet connection. If I have some [script that runs in the background](https://github.com/seanbreckenridge/bgproc) that needs an internet connection (e.g. it makes some request to some API, or `ssh`es onto my server and runs some task), I run `wait-for-internet` and the top, just to be safe.
On the command line:
On Mac, one can do something like:
`wait-for-internet && afplay /System/Library/Sounds/Funk.aiff`
... or:
`wait-for-internet --text "(waiting for internet)" && say "You have internet"`
I have an alias setup on my machine that plays the default 'message' sound and sends a notification:
`alias wfi='wait-for-internet && notify-send "INTERNET" && mpv /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/message.oga > /dev/null 2>&1'`
Can also be used in situations to verify you have internet before calling some other command:
`wait-for-internet && xdotool search --class "Firefox" key --window %@ "ctrl+r"` (refresh firefox after you have internet)
`wait-for-internet && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade`
`wait-for-internet && speedtest-cli`
`wait-for-internet && ssh `
`wait-for-internet && fg` (resume some suspended task that requires internet)
