Help writing with SH script?

SirJinX · 01-24-2006, 05:50 AM

Hi,

I would like to write an SH script that connects me to the internet automatically.
I am using FC4.

Usually, what I have to do is, in the terminal:

Code:

su - root
<password>
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 enc <pass> essid <name>
dhcpcd wlan0

The first problem is that it doesn't enter the password :S

And the 2nd one, would I place it in my /etc/init.d folder for it to start the sciprt every time?

!#/bin/bash
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 enc <pass> essid <name>
dhcpcd wlan0

save this in a file somewhere
for sake of this

/home/internet.sh.

test it logged in as root or SU
cd /home/;./internet.sh&

if it works
now add it to end of startup file to start at boot.

Code:

echo "cd /home/;./internet.sh&" >>/etc/rc.local
