'network-watchexec'

     'network-watchexec' is a scriptable OS X/macOS 'launchd(8)' network-connection change notification watchdog daemon in the form of a simple, makeshift command-line utility. It listens for notifications of Wi-Fi network connection and disconnection events and runs scripts when it receives them.

Getting the Source Code

     Just clone the repository:

git clone -v --progress https://github.com/RandomDSdevel/network-watchexec.git "$FILESYSTEM_LOCATION_OF_YOUR_CHOICE"

Usage

     (TO-DO/FIX ME: Provide usage instructions!)

Caveats

     Currently, the connection and disconnection event hook scripts this utility uses must exist and are hard-coded:

• The connection hook script must be '/usr/local/etc/network-watchexec/post-connection.'
• The disconnection hook script must be '/usr/local/etc/network-watchexec/post-disconnection.'
