[SOLVED] Dispatcher script doesn't work.

[babam]

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

chmod +x 01-test.sh

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"

[babam]

Code: Select all

$ ./01-test.sh xxx up

Code: Select all

$ cat /tmp/test.txt
up

Code: Select all

$ ./01-test.sh xxx down

Code: Select all

$ cat /tmp/test.txt
down

So, the test.sh script works it just doesn't work in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/. Why that is I have no idea. Sorry.

@Ed_P, Thanks.

Strange, now the dispatcher script can work.

Code: Select all

# /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager restart

[Ed_P]

What did you do to make it work?

Restart Networkmanager

Code: Select all

# /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager restart
