NAME

       nm-online - ask NetworkManager whether the network is connected

SYNOPSIS

       nm-online [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       nm-online is a utility to find out whether we are online. It is done by asking NetworkManager about its
       status. When run, nm-online waits until NetworkManager reports an active connection, or specified timeout
       expires. On exit, the returned status code should be checked (see the return codes below).

       By default NetworkManager waits for IPv4 dynamic addressing to complete but does not wait for the auto
       IPv6 dynamic addressing. To wait for IPv6 addressing to complete, either (1) change the network
       connection's IPv6 may-fail setting to no, and/or (2) change the IPv6 addressing method to manual or dhcp,
       to indicate that IPv6 connectivity is expected.

OPTIONS

       -t | --timeout seconds
           Time to wait for a connection, in seconds. If the option is not provided, the default timeout is 30
           seconds.

       -x | --exit
           Exit immediately if NetworkManager is not running or connecting.

       -q | --quiet
           Don't print anything.

       -s | --wait-for-startup
           Wait for NetworkManager startup to complete, rather than waiting for network connectivity
           specifically. Startup is considered complete once NetworkManager has activated (or attempted to
           activate) every auto-activate connection which is available given the current network state. (This is
           generally only useful at boot time; after startup has completed, nm-online -s will just return
           immediately, regardless of the current network state.)

EXIT STATUS

       nm-online exits with status 0 if it succeeds, a value greater than 0 is returned if an error occurs.

       0
           Success – already online or connection established within given timeout.

       1
           Offline or not online within given timeout.

       2
           Unknown or unspecified error.
