Message-ID: <534d19de0601161538x3f6e06a6q1f79bd3e6b01ec1f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I wrote some code, but tested it on only one system. I wish to add it
to the next version of my GPL http://emacro.sf.net/ project.
The purpose is to, as feasibly as I can, test if the user has
o broadband
o dialup
o no network
Please run the following code on your unix/osx-like system. If it
fails, please email me directly the output of ifconfig (you can trim
out the actual numbers, such as IP address), or fill in your relevant
/dev device name.
Let me know, if ifconfig itself fails.
;;;cut here
(let ((ifconfig (shell-command-to-string "ifconfig")) ;posix: linux/osx/unix
(ipconfig (shell-command-to-string "ipconfig"))) ;w32
(cond
((string-match "Media disconnected" ipconfig)
(message "w32 modem or no network"))
((string-match "IP Address" ipconfig)
(message "w32 broadband, or currently (perhaps always?) connected"))
((string-match "eth[0-9]" ifconfig)
(message "Linux ethernet"))
((string-match "tty" ifconfig)
(message "Linux/Unix modem"))
((string-match "e[0-9]" ifconfig)
(message "Solaris ethernet"))
((string-match "rl[0-9]" ifconfig)
(message "BSD ethernet"))
((string-match "vr[0-9]" ifconfig)
(message "BSD ethernet"))
((string-match "tr[0-9]" ifconfig)
(message "Linux/Unix token ring"))
('t message "Default: nothing found = modem or no network")))
