[SOLVED] Dispatcher script doesn't work.

Post#1 by babam » 04 Jun 2019, 17:00

How to get /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/XXX.sh to work.

Code: Select all

$ ls -l /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01-test.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 81 May 31 10:16 /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01-test.sh

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01-test.sh
 
#!/bin/bash

if [ "$2" = "up" ]; then
    echo "$2" > /tmp/test.txt

elif [ "$2" = "down" ]; then
    echo "$2" > /tmp/test.txt
fi
After disconnecting/connecting Wifi/Ethernet connection.

Code: Select all

$ cat /tmp/test.txt
cat: /tmp/test.txt: No such file or directory
Thanks.

What happens if $2 is not "up" and not "down"?

Maybe something like this would work better.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$2" == "up" ] || [ "$2" == "down" ]; then
   echo "$2" > /tmp.test.txt
else
   echo "$2 is not up or down" > /tmp/test.txt
fi 
And make sure your .sh file is executable.

Code: Select all

chmod +x 01-test.sh

Still doesn't work

Code: Select all

$ cat /tmp/test.txt
cat: /tmp/test.txt: No such file or directory

If you manually run the 01-test.sh script from the command line do any errors show up? If not try "01-test.sh xx on" and "01-test.sh xx off" and "01-test.sh xx yy", each followed with a "ls -l /tmp"
