1- create a shell script as follows (Replace "Tunisie Télécom / TUNTEL WEB DATA" with the name of your Mobile Broadband connection name):
- Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
LC_ALL=C nmcli -t -f TYPE,STATE dev | grep -q "^gsm:disconnected$"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
#jdownloader is still in the download status so stop it because
#internet is disconnected and jdownloader won't resume download
#when connected again
#jdownloader --stop-download
#sometimes I can not get connected after disconnection when
#I click on <name of the network connection>. I have to disable
#and enable Mobile Broadband
nmcli -t nm wwan off
sleep 1
nmcli -t nm wwan on
sleep 1
nmcli -t con up id "Tunisie Télécom / TUNTEL WEB DATA"
#wait approximately 15 sec to get connected
#if anyone can add better command to check for it just comment it :-p
sleep 15
#now connected to internet so start download
#jdownloader --start-download
fi
#it does not worth keep it checking every millisecond.
#my connection will be reestablished within 5-15 seconds
sleep 2
#if anyone can code it better please feel free to comment
#TO-DO:: check for data received. if data < 15 KB after 20 seconds of connection
#reconnect mobile broadband connection
done
2- Save it and give it execution permission then add it to Startup Applications.
Now it will connect automatically at startup and if connection is dropped.
Solution 2 :
1- get the attached script below
2- extract it to your home folder (or somewhere safe) and make it hidden by placing a dot before it like this .network-autoconnection.sh (so that you won't accidently delete it)
3- Give it execution permission like this: rightclick on it, go to "properties", then navigate to "permissions" then tick "Allow executing file as program"
4- go to the Mint menu and type "startup applications"
5- click on "add" then "browse" opposite to "command" field to give the directory of the script (your home folder or wherever you've placed it) then give it a name in the "name" field, for example mine is "Tunisie Télécom / TUNTEL WEB DATA".
That's it guys!
Script attached below!
