Nice, but how often can you ping a website before you get blacklisted? Let's say I need to check for internet connection every 30 seconds.

Also, delay is noticeable. Can we set to ping only once instead of the standard 4 times?

change the command to ping yahoo.com -n 1.

now it will ping only once
