Script to reset network connection every x minutes

There's the option to reset network connection in the tools in settings (where the homescreen can be restarted and backups can be removed). Is it possible to have a script which resets the network connection every 3 or 5 minutes or so (and a script to disable this)? I've got issues with the WIFI connection where I work and I keep losing connection with Whatsapp. Resetting it solves it and I don't believe it will be solved by addressing this issue, because I don't know if the root cause is on the router-side or in my phone. I already have this issue with the Jolla 1, my previous Sailfish phone.

Reference: Mobile network gets lost and is not restored

That would be one part. The bash script is another. You need to start it and stop it.

#!/bin/bash

while [ true ]
do
   echo la lala
   sleep 5
done

Stopping should be done via terminal, then. Or with the help of the preferences. Just some suggestions.

Better yet, a systemd timer which restarts the network/ofono service in a fixed interval.

That would indeed be an option, requires some skill in setting it up properly, though,

What about Cron, would that work?

This was a bit** to debug without proper logging and this antique version of systemd. We need to create two extra service files like this:

/etc/systemd/system/ofono-restart.timer

[Unit]
Description=restart ofono timer 60 min after boot and every 60 min from there on

[Timer]
OnBootSec=60min
OnUnitActiveSec=60m

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

/etc/systemd/system/ofono-restart.service

[Unit]
Description=restart ofono

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/systemctl try-restart ofono.service

usage:

To start the service:

systemctl start ofono-restart.timer

To keep it persistent, timer unit needs to be enabled:

systemctl enable ofono-restart.timer
