I have a gentoo system (Actually I have four of them) and they dont |
| 31 |
experience a slowdown when my internet connection goes down (which it |
| 32 |
invariably does because my ISP reboots its servers every 28 days as a |
| 33 |
policy, thereby disconnecting me ). Chances are its a particular program |
| 34 |
thats trying to connect to the net and failing, thereby using cycles in |
| 35 |
new attempts. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
While we are at it, does there exist a program that can monitor my |
| 38 |
internet connection and run a script if the net is down (like a restart |
| 39 |
script)? I dont want to have to come home and ssh in to restart |
| 40 |
everytime my ISP reboots its M$ Servers. |
