The current system has a firewall authentication system and this makes us enter the credentials again and again. We might have also lost our wifi network on curcial time due to this xD. In order to avoid the boring task and losing the network during important times, I created a shell script which currently suports Unix and Mac. I'm planning to make a cross platform GUI for the same so that it can work on other operating sytems as well.
Make sure to install net-tools
sudo apt-get install net-tools
Note: Make sure to open the terminal in the project directory
- First task is to make the script executable
chmod +x ./authentication.sh
- Execute the script with
bash authentication.sh
- Adding the script to crontab (so that the script runs after every reboot)
For Linux:
crontab -e- Add this command to the opened file
@reboot <path_of_the_script>
For Mac OS:
- Follow this link to add the script on startup.
And voila you've added an automated wifi login system in your device.
