I have a script that logs when my network goes down.

set wifiPassword to "[NETWORK PASSWORD]"

set userName to short user name of (system info)
do shell script ("echo '\\nSTARTING DOWN LOG: " & (current date) as string) &
"\\n" & "' >> /Users/" & userName & "/Desktop/down.txt"
repeat
try
set thePing to do shell script "ping -c 1 apple.com || ping -c 1 >>>> bing.com || ping -c 1 google.com"
delay 5
on error
do shell script ("echo '" & (current date) as string) & "' >> /Users/"

Been using it for years, on a system that I rarely use (hence why logging to
the desktop is fine, even if not what I would usually do).

But I want it to do better. If the Internet is down I want a line in the log
that says:

*** Internet Down: Oct 11 2025 10:44 AM to Oct 11 2025 11:56 AM

Of course with the correct dates / times. Working on it... but curious if one
of the better coders in here can beat me to it. Or does someone have a premade
solution?

OK, with help from ChatGPT I got this:

Nobody gives a flying fuck snit.
Take your trolling elsewhere.

YOU do not care about tech, no matter what sock you use. Sure. Thanks for the admission.

I don't care about tech that YOU pretend to be interested in just so that
you can start up another one of your mega trolls.
Take your attention seeking elsewhere.
