hostapd: execute a command when there is new connection established
As @beemaster said run this:
hostapd_cli -a '/onHostapdChange.sh'
With the script: onHostapdChange.sh
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $2 == "AP-STA-CONNECTED" ]]
then
echo "someone has connected with mac id $3 on $1"
fi
if [[ $2 == "AP-STA-DISCONNECTED" ]]
then
echo "someone has disconnected with mac id $3 on $1"
fi
For now I've found the following solution:
hostapd_cli -a 'some_script'
Where script receives network interface name and event type as an arguments. This must be started after hostapd
daemon. Also it needs ctrl_interface
to be set in hostapd.conf
.
