A shellscript to check and log when your internet connection goes down. Netcheck checks for internet connectivity and if its interupted, writes a log containing the time of disconnect, and length of time disconnected. Once it reconnects it will log the reconnected internet speed and continue monitoring again.
Netcheck also include an optional web interface for viewing your connection logs remotely from a web browser. You can use a service such as NGROK to allow you to see the web interface outside of your network.
