Kinda vague on a few things here..
1 and 2
What type of Internet connection do you have? Cable, DSL, etc.
Do you have a local Firewall or network FW to be concerned with?

Ok... so I might set up a a routine to ping 2 differing URLs and check their responses to identify Internet connectivity. You could also open your home page, but if it's cached you could have inconsistancy with your script.

Number 3
Is it a web-based app? Citrix/thin client?

Thanks for reply.
I am not sure about my connection.
It is broadband type using telephone line with external modem having details as:

Device Name : WAN Miniport
Device type : PPPoE
Server Type : PPP
Transports : TCP/IP
Authentication : MD5 CHAP.

I want to run application which is not web based such as CCleaner from CCleaner.com
Open application,click on "Run Cleaner" and then Exit.
I want to clean internet cookies on realtime basis , that's why I need check If internet connection is on.

Thanks

If you run RasDial it will tell you if you are not connected:

C:\>rasdial
No connections
Command completed successfully.

So you could do:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd.exe /c Rasdial >> %TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt,ras
Position>No connections,ras,1,rp
If>rp>0
  MessageModal>No Connection
Else
  MessageModal>Connected
Endif
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt

If you want to know how to connect/disconnect see:

Untested modification of sample from Marcus:

Code: Select all

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>cmd.exe /c Rasdial >> %TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt,ras
Position>No connections,ras,1,rp
If>rp<=0
   Run Program>xyz.exe
Endif
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%\rasdial.txt

Sorry,....Not Worked

I want to clean internet cookies on realtime basis.That's why I need
if net is connected.....CCleaner.exe executes.

Thanks

I may be mistaken but I don't think CC Cleaner operates on a realtime basis as you are suggesting. I think it is something you would run after an internet session to delete cookies and temp files, it doesn't sit there like a watchdog stopping those files being written. If you want realtime cookie prevention then why not set the browser not to accept them?

I am thinking that you can do everything you want to do with Macro Scheduler and will not require CC Cleaner.

If you look in the discussions and in the 'tips' and 'scripts' area you can put together a script that will automate and remove anything you'd like. The real-time throws me off a bit though. I guess you could run your cleaner app with MS in a loop/with a wait, or something to that effect.

At this point, I'd have to agree with Me_Again.

Yes, you are right.
By Realtime I mean when net is connected,cookies are to be deleted as they are stored.
But please reply
How I can apply
If net is connected ....then command.

Thanks

I still don't understand why you wouldn't just stop the browser accepting cookies? If you keep running CC Cleaner every few minutes that will slow down your system.

dvd,
You've been provided with the If.. then.. did you happen to test the scripts above from Support and Bob Hansen? I think you've stated that it did not work. Pleaase post your version of the script.

Also, Me_again's suggestion resolves your issue entirely (i think). Are you not sure how to prevent cookies? If so, what browser are you using?

Me_again · Post by **Me_again** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 2:25 pm

Ed, I think we may not understand what "if net is connected" means. I suspect it may mean "if someone is accessing the internet = using a browser".

Bob Hansen · Post by **Bob Hansen** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:14 pm

Me_again, you may be correct with your interpretation. It would definitely make a difference.

In any case, Ed's suggestion to just eliminate cookies is really the best answer.

And a sample of the script that is not working, maybe with a list of programs that are running, can certainly help us out.
