|
|
I'm wondering if there exists a piece of software that will detect disconnection from the Internet (not ethernet) and can automatically log you back in, by filling out a web based login form without user intervention. It would greatly help me keep my machines on the Internet at all times (the login eventually times out in about 24-48 hours, which I find very annoying). |

A strange set up indeed!
I don't know of anything off the shelf but I would suggest that you run a script from cron which tries to connect to a site or two and then looks at the response that comes back. If it is a login form, then fill in the details and off it goes.
Python and Perl (and all other major scripting languages) have html parsers available.
Not a trivial job but not too hard. There are plenty of programming resources around to help you on this.
Cheers
