Run a Script when Wireless Network Goes Up or Down?

[HarryMuscle]

Is there anywhere to run a script when the wireless network is brought up or brought down? I have some scripted ebtables rules that disappear whenever a change is made on the router that restarts the wireless network. I noticed in the logs it mentions:

Aug 29 20:14:31 rc_service: httpd 315:notify_rc restart_wireless

and then my ebtables rules disappear. Any way to tie into this process to rerun my script?

Thanks,
Harry

Not at this time, sorry.

Add your firewall script to firewall-start

Add your firewall script to firewall-start

Unfortunately the custom scripts like firewall-start are not run when the wireless is restarted.

Ah, I thought it caused a firewall restart too, I guess I haven't seen the wireless service restart on my router.

You could just write a daemon process, or even just a reoccurring if then else loop to continually scan your log for the desired string to trigger the "then" statement.
