Run program if connected to specific wifi?

Solution 1:

You can use ControlPlane where you can set up rules to carry out tasks such as opening apps based on various criteria which includes connecting to Wi-Fi.

ControlPlane supports multiple contexts where a context is defined as a location or activity you are performing. Using evidence sources you can create a set of rules that tell ControlPlane what context to apply to your environment. When ControlPlane enters or leaves a context a set of Actions are performed.

ControlPlaneX, an unofficial fork of the open source project, has kept the project working to Mojave.

Solution 2:

I've created sample daemon app for this purpose. You can find it on Github.

To make it run:

• Compile it using Xcode.
• Move Network Listener.app to /Applications dir.
• Move .networkConnected and .networkDisconnected to Your $HOME dir.
• Move Network-Listener.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents.
• Make .networkConnected and .networkDisconnected executable.

It will automatically run when You log in to Your account. If You want to test it run this in Terminal:

launchctl load -S Aqua -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/Network-Listener.plist

Scripts receive SSID name as arguments.

Feel free to change it for Your needs. In case of any problems let me know.

Everything was created to show the possibilities, a lot of things can be improved.
