Hi I am from India and I am using hathway broadband internet connection.currently I am using openSUSE12.3 OS. The internet works for upto 8 hours perfectly and after that internet stops working. When I open the browser it asks for username and password when I provide the above it shows activating your internet services. I want to download some of the large files so I prefer to keep download at night times and due to above the download fails.

Is there any software in Linux to automatically sign into my internet account and make the internet available to applications like firefox all the times.

Regards,
Rupesh.

Yes, you can use curl to do such things, and incorporate those into a script. A better solution would be to contact your ISP, and tell them to not cut you off after 8 hours, or ask them what they suggest.

And you DO realize that this script will only work if the connection is dead, right?? Because if you keep running that script and you're already signed in, nothing will change. It won't be until your download STOPS that you'll re-connect. And please, don't create another user ID...if you forgot the password for "rupeshforu", contact the moderators.

By mistakenly previously I have created the account rupeshforu and right now I am not using it so please delete the account. I am new to Linux and scripting so kindly create a script and post it and I will use it.

If you want an account deleted, then you need to contact a moderator. And how do you 'mistakenly' create an account?
No, if you want a script YOU create it. We are NOT going to write scripts for you, but we will be glad to HELP you if you're stuck. There are THOUSANDS of easily-found scripting tutorials...one is even in my posting signature. Start there. Try going to Google, and looking up curl script examples. But if you want someone to write programs for you, then post it in the LQ Job Marketplace (along with how much you're willing to PAY someone to do this for you), and someone will be more than glad to.

Otherwise, you will have to show some effort of your own.

Actually you are not at all helpful to others instead you are always criticizing others especially me. I have said many times that I am new to Linux and unix. If I am expert I can handle myself and there is no need to request help from your forums. kindly don't reply to my threads atleast others will help me. on seeing your replies everyone think that someone is helping me but which is not happening.


The current thread does not contain any copyright issues. I don't know how to handle this issue so I have requested help from you. If you realize atleast now try to help regarding this issue.


I am requesting other members of this forum to help me about the current issue.

Actually that would not be a bad idea. Why would an ISP cut off users arbitrarily in the first place?..

Actually they are not responding at all so I have decided to change to another service provider and it takes time and if the issue is solved I can stick to the current service provider and also new service provider will charge extra money for installation charges etc.,


Linux forums have suggested that we can write PHP or JavaScript inorder to accomplish the task.

I think someone of you know how to write the above script so if you know please post the script and I will use it.

Already done. Try this: http://gopi-kori.blogspot.com/2013/0...and-using.html ?

And we are requesting that YOU write your own scripts. Sorry, but there are THOUSANDS of very easily-found tutorials on how to write a bash script. There is even one in my posting signature. All you have to do is show some effort of your own, and we will all be glad to help you. Your other threads don't indicate that you research anything on your own, or even answer questions when you're asked. And you've been registered here for about a year now....during that time, has your learning not progressed at ALL??

But coming here and asking for a handout because you don't feel like trying is fairly rude. In your case, I'm NOT helpful, because you show no effort of your own. But please feel free to look at any of my other posts where I HAVE written scripts/pieces of scripts for people who DID show effort.
You can use PHP, Bash, Perl, Ruby, Python, or Javascript to perform this. But it appears you don't want to learn ANY of those languages or even ATTEMPT to do it yourself. unSpawn even had to look it up for you.
Really? You'd be kind enough to use a script someone else wrote for you?? Again, if you want someone to write programs for you, then PAY THEM. Otherwise, show effort of your own, post what you've written/tried, and tell us where you're stuck, and we will HELP you.

This would be like asking for someone to 'help' you move....then sitting in a chair, and asking why they haven't loaded the truck for you. "Help" is when YOU do part of the work, and others ASSIST.
