ive been trying to write a simple (at least i thought it was) script to launch my wireless usb under ubuntu with kde. im using nano.
when i run it from a terminal it works fine, but it just wont run from the script. there is a caveat, but first heres the script.
-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set EncrypType=TKIP
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set WPAPSK=1111111111
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set SSID=network
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set NetworkType=Infra
sudo dhclient wlan1
---------------------------
this is the output
There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 13451

--------------------------
now heres the twist:
sometimes it asks for a password, sometimes it doesnt
also, if i run the script up to here:
sudo iwpriv wlan1 set NetworkType=Infra
stop it, and run sudo dhclient wlan1 in a terminal, it works!
ive tried running it with sh script, ./script but still no joy. its probably something simple im just missing but im stumpped.
thanx if anyone has any ideas.
