How to know gateway status from the command line?
-
I have one of my providers' modem hang from time to time and this is observed as gateway down. I would like to trigger modem reset on such an event.
Can I determine the status of gateway from the command line in order to write appropriate script?

To reset the modem via software, the modem needs to be running to begin with, how are u going to do a reset in that situation? I have a theory repeat hardware freeze are often due to excessive heat.

What would you use to determine this? If the modem is simply failing to pass traffic, without killing the Ethernet connection, I doubt there'd be any status to check. What you could do is run a script that will ping your ISPs gateway and then act on failure. However, you'd still have no way to know if it's the modem or beyond that failed.
