nm-online

ask NetworkManager whether the network is connected

nm-online [ OPTIONS ]

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 bellow).

Time to wait for a connection, in seconds. If the option is not provided, the default timeout is 30 seconds.
Exit immediately if NetworkManager is not running or connecting.
Don't print anything.
