start script on network connection

mattzz · 02-17-2014, 02:38 PM

Hi,

I'm currently working on a server-less weather station screensaver.
The data update works nice via cronjob or via kual menu.

But now I want to update weather data when I switch on the kindle pw2 and the wlan0 interface comes up and a network connection is possible.

I tried /etc/network/if-up.d and also tried the "up" section in /etc/interfaces.

My problem is that the script will be executed nicely but there is still no connection to the internet. I dumped iwconfig and ifconfig and everything looked right regarding the wlan0 interface, the AP association and the internet configuration.

However, it seems that there is still something happening after wlan0 is up in order to successfully access the internet.

What am I missing?

There are a bunch of lilc event related to networking, they might be better suited and/or accurate for your needs.

IIRC, it's been discussed a few times, and there might even be some code laying around.

I searched the wiki and the forum for suitable lipc stuff but did not find anything. All solutions I've seen were based on if-up.d scripts but that does obviously not work for the pw2.

I will test poking around in /etc/lipc-daemon-events.conf
