netwatch

netwatch watches your network using nmcli (networkmanager) and restarts it if something goes wrong.

how it works

nw opens a ping process, and monitors the time it takes to ping your ping address (default: 8.8.8.8). it also detects if the network is unreachable.

if the network becomes to slow or the network becomes unreachable, it is revived.

network revival

1. network is restarted
2. wait until connectivity to the network
3. wait for internet connection (using ping)
4. restrt ping, monitor your network
