Powershell cmdlet to wait for Internet connectivity to establish again.
I wrote this cmdlet while the cafe I was sitting at lost its Internet connection. I wanted to be notified when Internet's back. I usually use ping -t *some_known_ip_address* to do that, but I didn't remember any
well-known IP addresses at the time. I remember 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, but I'm not sure if they responded to pings. This cmdlet is just a better way to wait until Internet connection is restored.
I also thought that a simple PowerShell cmdlet would be idiomatic and useful for similar purposes in other people's scripts.
Install-Module Wait-Net
Wait until Internet connectivity is restored on at least one of the network adapters on the system. It accepts a -Milliseconds parameter to specify the
delay for checks which is 1000 (1 Second) by default.
By default, Wait-Net shows no output. Feel free to use -Debug switch if you want to see what it's doing while waiting.
This cmdlet just returns $true or $false if there is Internet connectivity.
