Help! Shell Script for Wifi Connection
Hi,

I am quite new to shell scripting and was wondering if it was possible to automatically enter the username and password fields to a wifi-access-router and then ping it.

I have most trouble with entering the username and password fields. Is that even possible?

Also, what do I do if the wrong username and password are entered? How do I get the shell script to inform the user that login has failed?

Any help is much appreciated!

It really depends on how you're accessing the router.

If over a web interface you could write a Perl LWP script to retrieve and parse the response.

If over a telnet connection expect is all you need, however neither of these are simple scripts to write.
