Execute script when [dis]connected to wifi?

  • 772

I have two one-liner scripts that write IP address and SSID to files in my Dropbox; I would like my Android phone to sync to Dropbox and read the IP and SSID and do stuff via Tasker if it's on the same network.

That said, I am looking for a way to execute the scripts whenever I'm connected to wifi.

Thanks very much for the help!

    I had to add the following to my /etc/network/interfaces:

    auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp

    Then place a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ and check if "$IFACE" = "wlan0".
