notify-on-packetloss.sh

Send a macos notification when packetloss is detected.

This creates a macos macos launchd service that runs a bash script checking for packetloss by pinging your internet gateway. When packetloss is detected, it'll send a macos notification and severity color to anybar, and log to the system log.

Requirements

• Macos: High Sierra or greater.
• Anybar (Optional, but works togther nicely)
