I've written a bash script to get my SSID and accordingly set my network
preferences (on a Mac). The script works well in an interactive shell but
fails to work similarly when invoked thro cron.
ssid = `networksetup -getairportnetwork| cut -d : -f 2`
echo $ssid ESSID found.
gives me the SSID of my access point. Output is
MOHAN-DSL ESSID found.
script contents:
ssid = `networksetup -getairportnetwork| cut -d : -f 2`
echo $ssid ESSID found.
is invoked using */3 * * * * script > logfile in crontab. cat logfile shows
just
ESSID found.
Any pointers?
