Description:
It would be great, and probably more efficient, if KDE had a single app/daemon responsible for checking the status of ones internet connection. It should be interfaceable via dcop, a local tcp port, a client app, or any combination of these.
And it could allow the user to dictate how it decideds if the connection is active:
- ping to specific site
- attempt to wget a particular file
- attempt to use lynx to get a particular webpage
- etc . . .
The purpose for this would be to eliminate internet dependant apps from getting worried (for lack of better phrasing) in the scenario that internet connection disappears.
For example, if you pull out the cable, instead of Liquid Weather running out of data, it could keep what it already had; instead of Kmail throwing up a dialog, along with all other internet dependant apps, the daemon could throw up one (hopefully more aesthetically) notification. Maybe it could be decided to attempt fallback methods of connection.
That my idea. Go go KDE4!
