Hi
Thank you for this great prog. I want to run a script which checks my internet connection say every 15 mins. If im not connected it reboots.
Code:

Loop
{
FileDelete, C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\google.htm
sleep, 2000
FileDelete, C:\google.htm
sleep, 2000
URLDownloadToFile, http://www.google.com, C:\google.htm
sleep, 2000
IfExist, C:\google.htm
{
sleep, 900000 ;15 mins
}
Else
{
Shutdown, 6 ;reboot
}
}
return

but this line
Code:
FileDelete, C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\google.htm
is not deleting the file.
Any ideas?
Thanks

A workaround ...

tempfile = C:\WINDOWS\Temporary Internet Files\google.htm
Run, %comspec% /c del "%tempfile%",, Hide

(I have some issues with FileMove Confused)

You probably shouldn't delete files directly from the cache. Maybe the delete fails because the OS won't let you.

But the most important thing is that there is a much easier way to check your connection: Use the built-in variables A_IPAddress1 through 4. One of them (probably the 1st or 2nd) should be different (perhaps 0.0.0.0) when you are not connected. This assumes you're using dial-up or a DHCP IP address rather than a hard-coded one.

thanks for reply guys.
This one works
Code:

x=%A_IPAddress1%
sleep, 2000
Loop
{
IfEqual, x, %A_IPAddress1%
{
sleep, 900000
}
Else
{
Shutdown, 6 ;reboot
}
}
return
