15** Summary
16
17~ping_offline.sh~ is a small Bash script meant to indicate when the
18machine it runs on is able to ping a remote server.

25** Background
26Sometimes, my machines are on a network that is temporarily
27disconnected for various reasons. I'd like to know approximately when
28they come back online by pinging a remote server; once a successful
29ping is established, I can stop further pings. However, the ~ping~
30executable available (provided by the package ~iputils-ping~) on my
31Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS machine throws an error if the machine is completely
32offline; therefore, I wrote the script to regularly try the command
33until it succeeds at least once.

35** Dependencies
36- ~iputils-ping~ package (Version: 3:20211215-1)
