For updates with suites like metasploit framework, tree, etc...

Please be gentle, I am a very slow programmer

And now on to registration attempt #2 at the garage (they did not accept cron!)...
Does this mean it connects to any open access point? I think many people are looking for this type of utility if it is.

A UI for cron might prove useful too. Is there some application I can port/copy that does this?

There's a task scheduler frontend for cron in KDE (yeah, I know, QT!) called kcron. I assume something similar might exist for Gnome.

Im running this:-

/usr/bin/updatedb
Code:
find / -print > /media/mmc1/ldb
and /usr/bin/locate
Code:
grep $1 /medis/mmc1/ldb|more
works well for me.

As in stands, it pops up the "connect to" window if a known AP is not found. I'll try to bypass this if at all possible.

Well, we are halfway there then. Would that auto-connect to any open AP if a known AP is not found? As I stated before, there are LOTS of possibilities if this can be achieved, such as walking about town and surf the internet while hopping from AP to AP or driving in a populated city and being able to *not so seamlessly* listen to internet radio. That makes me smile

What I want to do is to scan the list of available AP's and:
1. see if any of them are known
2. see if any of them are open

Priority list would (could?) run as follows:
1. known, better signal strength
2. open and unknown, better signal strength
3. known, weaker signal
4. open and unknown, weaker signal
5. ask user (optional) -- or, drop connection

So basically, the requirements are:

a. A method to scan AP's in range and get their statistics using osso_get_statistics(...). I need to figure out how to scan AP's in the spirit of the built-in connection manager. Any clues?
b. A method to transparently connect to any (known or open) AP within range -- this is available and should require only a minor modification to my current code, in the call to osso_iap_connect(...) [PS: I'll put the source up at http://www.anomaly-music.com/crun/crun.c when I get home in a few hours].

Any contributions to this idea are welcome, especially from more experienced programmers than me

*edit*

Looks to me like I will have to fork the source: I will continue debugging and testing crun, which will be used to automate downloads, etc.; and I will start working on this new idea, by reusing half the crun source, obviously
