How do you run a script after a network interface comes up?
I haven't tried this solution my self - yet, but found this thread: https://superuser.com/questions/201478/run-script-in-os-x-10-6-on-network-connection-like-etc-network-if-up-d/261004#261004
You should consider using crankd, which precisely allows you to run scripts in response to many system events such as network changes, filesystem activity, application launching, etc.
As I couldn't find any sensible documentation, I also wrote a small blog post on getting started using crankd.
The following works on Mac OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan)
- Create a file:
networkchange.plist
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" \
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>networkchange</string>
<key>LowPriorityIO</key>
<true/>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/Shared/bin/networkchange.sh</string>
</array>
<key>WatchPaths</key>
<array>
<string>/etc/resolv.conf</string>
<string>/var/run/resolv.conf</string>
<string>/private/var/run/resolv.conf</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
- Then, register by running the following commands in Terminal:
launchctl load networkchange.plist
launchctl start networkchange
Note that the script is run by the user registering the plist.
