Hi list, I'm trying to do something to make rc.conf can act conditionally
What I want is: 1. List the wireless access points, grep if there is one which bssid is 'bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb', if there is, then set ifconfig_wlan0 to the value: "inet 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 WPA" 2. check if bitlbee has been installed, if so, then let bitlbee service start. So I tried with following settings in rc.conf, but all of them failed, i.e., the networking can't be connected and bitlbee service doesn't run. /etc/rc.conf if ifconfig wlan0 list scan 2>/dev/null | grep -q 'bb:bb:bb:bb:bb:bb' >/dev/null 2>&1; then ifconfig_wlan0="inet 192.168.1.111 netmask 255.255.255.0 WPA" fi if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/bitlbee ]; then bitlbee_enable="YES" fi My question is, how to achieve what I want? The simpler, the better :) -- Regards, Yue Wu Key Laboratory of Modern Chinese Medicines Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine China Pharmaceutical University No.24, Tongjia Xiang Street, Nanjing 210009, China _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
