how to collect or best way 2g/3g data connectivity information

[krihsna]

right now i ping my mobile operator DNS server before sending an e-mail or if i have to do anything urgent. i am using terminal emulator [ 1.0.70 ].can i run script using terminal emulator on my android device to check periodically whether my data connection is up or down & save it in text file ?

if i can use script, where can I download it ? i just want to check for every hour for a few days.

is there any app to check connectivity periodically, if possible ability to save result in text file.

please provide suggestion or direction.

The text file is trivial:

ping <name of server to ping> > <name of text file>

Writing the program to read the text file and figure out whether you're connected or not is the challenge.
