Run Batch When Connecting to Internet?

**fatejd** · 10-23-2006, 02:33 PM

I have my CF setup to connect to my phone (tether) for Internet, but the thing is the phone goes to DORMANT after like 15 seconds of no activity and I can't get the connection back. It seems a good way to overcome this is to ping the connection, but I would need to make a batch file to do this and have it run when I connect to the Internet. Would this be possible to integrate into CF? Or maybe I could just leave it running (pinging) all the time - would that work after hibernating, etc.? Just kinda thinking outloud here while at work...

Thanks

A simple non-GUI plugin could be written and placed in the folder to constantly ping...

Well, I just ran cmd > ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -t and it continues to run without my phone connected and after hibernating, so that will work. Now I just need to make a batch file and run that on each startup or work on integrating it (seems to much trouble to me though).
