[SOLVED] dzen "is network connection?"

hii

how can i do somthing like network connection state :
"is connection -> show two computers in blue color on dzen"
"isnt connection -> show two computers in grey color on dzen"

my question is: where i can get info about it (is connection, or is not connection to network)?

'ping www.google.com -c 1' and then some grep/if stuff to check the connection.

Re: [SOLVED] dzen "is network connection?"

ok, i resolve problem:

#!/bin/bash

FN='-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--10-70-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1'
DZEN="dzen2 -fn $FN"


while true; do

NET=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier | awk '{if ($1 == "1") printf "^fg(green)net^fg()"; else printf "^fg(red)net^fg()"}')

    echo "$NET"
    sleep 1
done | $DZEN

if "net" is in green, we have network connection, else (red) we have'nt
