The OP could replace the 'sleep 120' in the other script with this loop.

Why waste a curl call when ping 8.8.8.8 would work with less overhead?

Will 'ping 8.8.8.8' return quickly (within 2 seconds) after my device
has woken up? No. My device does not respond to 8.8.8.8. You are just
testing internet connectivity, not the wakeup of my device.

And why waste a ping call (which is setuid) if a curl call will suffice
AND tells if the port is responding to http(s) requests?

In other words: why waste a post when you don't understand the problem?
