Turning Off Wi-Fi During Logout Script Doesn't Work With Launchd
I'm writing a launchd plist and a shell script on my MacBook running Yosemite to automate the following scenario:
Turning off Wi-Fi when the user logs out.
Here's my script:
#!/bin/sh
onLogout() {
#Turning off Wi-Fi. Tested in the Terminal and worked.
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
#Log a message as a proof that the script is executed
echo 'Logging out' >> ~/Desktop/logout.sh.log
exit
}
trap 'onLogout' SIGINT SIGHUP SIGTERM
while true; do
sleep 86400 &
wait $!
done
When I logged out, I did see the log message appearing in the log file. But the Wi-Fi was still on.
Please help.
Use networksetup -listallhardwareports
to get a list of all network devices. Usually en0
is the ethernet interface, en1
is WiFi.
