Thanks so much for your reply!
Your advice makes sense, but it doesn't return a list of the Network
ESSID's it only returns a number. Is there a more secure way i can do this.
I know the application running on the raspberry pi is trying to access this
information as a "www-data". how would i give temporal access to sudo.
Security is a bid issue with this app.
Thanks again!
Cheers
Tolu
