I have an idea to further improve this script.....

#!/bin/sh
konsole -e telnet n7us.net

This script assumes there is a valid internet connection

I ran the script with the network cable pulled out of side of computer....it brings up the Konsole, but just sits there with blank screen.......

Just to make the script nicer, is there a way to test for network connection, if there is, the script just runs as normal. But if there is no connection, the script just exits, and that way, you dont have a blank Konsole screen staring at you. Not that its a big deal, but I think this would be a nicer script.

I am reading up on linux shell scripts but its hard to find the right command for the job. Would you use an if command? Not sure of syntax......bob
