[Feature Request] Any way to control Wifi ON or OFF from command line in Heliport?

I find that when my connection does not work, ie: connected but ping times out. I am able to fix it with Heliport's Turn Wifi Off, then Turn Wifi On. Is it possible to control that from command line so I can add some watchdog that does it automatically for me? thx

ifconfig enx down ifconfig enx up

x means your interface number, you can get it by ifconfig

HeliPort provides an NSService that could do so. Calling it from commands should be possible.

do you know of any app/script that monitors internet/watchdog to run those commands?

function urlTest() {
    while : ; do
        if [[ "$( curl -s captive.apple.com | grep -i "success")" ]]; then
            sleep 10
        else
            echo "Disconnected at $(date)"
            reconnect # Implement this method
        fi
    done
}

i think this "hang" problem wont be solve soon.

Instead of using certain methods as workarounds, I think it would be better to provide logs and actually fix the problem; please create a separate issue for itlwm.
