I was trying to build a script that runs when wifi is connected or disconnected. After a lot of searches, I got wpa_cli -a command to work with my script.



test.sh



case "$1" in
wlan0)
case "$2" in
CONNECTED)
echo WIFI is CONNECTED "$WPA_ID" > output
#sudo python ./do.py
;;
DISCONNECTED)
echo WIFI is Disconnected "$WPA_ID" > output
;;
*)
>&2 echo empty or undefined event for wlan0: ""
exit 1
;;
esac
;;
esac


I was tested the script by running the command sudo wpa_cli -a /home/pi/test.sh. I disconnected the wifi and checked the output file and it contains " WIFI disconnected message". Similar checking is done by connecting to a wifi and we observed "WIFI connected" message.



But when i tried to run the command wpa_cli in daemon mode, It don't work. I have used the command sudo wpa_cli -a /home/pi/test.sh -B. But this time output file have no change if i connected or disconnected the wifi.



But when i ps aux|grep test.sh, it shows the script is running.

          I have got the answer. When I run in daemon mode using sudo wpa_cli -a /home/pi/test.sh -B, I was checking the wrong output file( In the home directory ). In the echo, I have not mentioned the correct path for file output, So it will be redirected to the file output in the root / directory.



          Thanks for all
