Just a little personal irritant in need of a solution.
Scenario
I have a little script in Startup that auto-loads Firefox.
My Firefox config keeps the last set of tabs (when session is saved).
Frisbee (but I suspect all network managers) are invoked before the script in Startup.
Consequently, ALL the Firefox tabs with internet web pages show Server Not Found.
Question
Is there a way to reverse the order of processing, i.e. so that the script directive is invoked after the network app connects?

upupbb32, firefox 69.0.3
see sig for other details

Maybe put a sleep command at the start of the script.

The script is activated, but it sleeps for a period of time before it actually does anything.

Network connection does take some time to complete.
Wired connection is usually quick.
Wireless takes some time.
I usually get to a working desktop and 10 to 30 seconds later the connection is made.

This script will loop until WAN becomes available:

@bigpup, @jafadmin

Thanks guys.
[EDIT]
Sleep worked. Initial setting of 60 may have been too long. Think I'll try jafadmin's rather than fiddling with the number for sleep.
[EDIT-2]
At first glance, the script seems to work also.

I'll mark the thread as SOLVED.
