I need help with a script...

Bender · Dec 29, 2006

I have my script fully working but it needs a little cleaning up. I have it run when the system starts up but I do not want it displaying things like the network key. How can I hide the code execution?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
# Wireless USB setup for Syntax USB-400
#

# Enable wireless USB for wlan0
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable

# Set SSID for your network
set +v wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid="MySSID" authtype=opensystem

# Set WEP attributes
set +v wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_hostwep encrypt=true decrypt=true
set +v wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11PrivacyInvoked=true

# Set WEP key
set +v wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKeyID=0
set +v wlanctl-ng wlan0 dot11req_mibset mibattribute=dot11WEPDefaultKey0=00:00:00:00:00

# Step 5 - set IP configuration
dhcpcd wlan0

Redirect the output to /dev/null if you don't want to see the ouput of your command. example:

Code:

dhcpd wlan0 2> /dev/null

goroX for dhcpcd that works but for other things is still displays text.

example

Code:

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable 2> /dev/null

When I addd 2> /dev/null it does nothing different.

you're on gentoo right? don't they have their own premade scripts that you can edit to set the lan key and everything?

Not sure what to tell you, but try to add & at the end to make it run in the background.

Code:

wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable 2> /dev/null &
