My end goal is to combine it with the mail sending function introduced here: http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=477959 ...

... but for now, I am mainly interested in a script that can tell when someone connects to the wireless AP. I should be able to handle combining the scripts on my own.


So here is my question:
Quote:
Is there any way for a script to know when a new host associates with the wireless? I would like to combine scripts so that when someone successfully authenticates with my wireless AP, an e-mail is generated.


It seems to me that this script would have to be CRONed to run every x number of minutes, and most likely do some kind of comparison of the log files- as I do not think it is possible to simply run code upon wireless association. Can anyone offer any insight?

bump

I'm trying to see if associations are logged in the syslog but I'm new to the Linux / UNIX commands (and I have the Micro firmware) so I'm really working with a handicap here. Any help is appreciated.

I added what you are are asking for to my scripts examples on my wiki page.

Are you sure you don't have sendmail (since it is supposed to be built-in to busybox {the shell suite})?

Try this command to see if it exists:
which sendmail

Wow awesome! Thank you so much. I'm going to give it a whirl and see if sendmail works.

edit:

which sendmail:
Code:

sh: eval: line 1: which: not found

You ought to say what hardware and firmware you're using. If you have a micro build they you can pretty much forget about scripting anything.

Here's the info:

Quote:
Router Model
Linksys WRT54G2 / GS2
Firmware Version
DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) micro - build 12533


It seems that Micro is all this router will support. I will be purchasing a new router that can accommodate a different version. I'd like to purchase from Best Buy (have a gift card Very Happy ). What make / model would you advise that is best dollar for dollar?

Update!

I purchased a Cisco / Linksys E2000 and got everything loaded. I am in the process of testing the script with this combo of hardware / firmware. I will update when complete. Wish me luck!

Edit:

It seems to be working after I got the sendmail issues sorted out with my mail host. For some reason it is still not showing the sender's information (blank)- but at least it works.

All of my tests are showing as "Unknown at...". What does it take for them to not be "Unknown"?
