Is there anyway to check if there is a valid internet connection at time of script execution through script maker, and if not maybe through send event somehow?

You'd have to use OS-level scripting to do this. Not sure if there's a simple command line that would be able to do this or if you'd need a VBscript.

Figures, Cheers Wim

I suppose i could try and ping something like google, but how would i get the result back to fm?

Genx,

How did you make out?

I did a couple test and was able to get the results into FM.

If someone has a way to clean this method up or an alternate way please share.

Send Event ["aevy"; "odoc"; ping_instructions.bat"]

Pause/Resume Script [Duration (seconds: 2]

Import Records [No dialog; Folder_Name; Text files; Add; Windows ANSI]

ping_instructions.bat

ping www.google.com >Folder_Nameping_results.txt

you don't need the batch file. Do the following in the Send Event as a Calc instead of referencing the batch file:

cmd /c ping www.google.com >Folder_Nameping_results.txt

Cheers guys, i've been curious about that for ages, that helps heaps
