Hi,
Nothing happens even the xterm did not open at all.

try your command from the commandline (xterm launched from desktop) first- if this works then try it from the widget cmd-field.

Hi
In xterm its working just fine but in the qbw nothing happens, must be something missing in the script

Don't you need to chmod the script?

i tried this

I thought it may not run because it wasn't set executable.

I had a go at recreating your problem, seems like QBW forces the script to close. The script as you say works great on it's own.

As a work around you could dump a huge pause in the script.
I can't seem to get it to leave xterm open when executed.

Or you could try and see if you can make a .desktop execute it correctly.

At the moment I have this 30 second pause, a prompt, a 10 second pause.
When running in QBW the "Press Enter" prompt gets skipped.

QBW Command

Code:

osso-xterm -e "sh /home/user/MyDocs/myscript/iwlistscan.sh" | echo ""

iwlistscan.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
exec sudo gainroot <<EOF
exec sh $0 $*
EOF
exit $?
fi

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
ifconfig wlan0 down

sleep 30
read -p "Press Enter Key..." nothing
echo
sleep 10
exit 0;

Ohhh yes thanks , it worked finally, really thank you.

i have a question can the iwlist scan give me just the SSID and mac ?? because the other info that iwlist scan give me not important for me , all i care about is SSID and mac

sixwheeledbeast | # 1340 | 2012-03-04, 23:59 | Report

Why not just use
QBW Command

Code:

echo "iwconfig wlan0" | sudo gainroot | grep ESSID |sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//" ; echo "iwconfig wlan0" | sudo gainroot | grep Point | sed "s/.*Point: //;s/ //g"

This will display SSID and MAC in a widget.
You will not need the script or xterm then.

If you want to display anything else from iwlist just add another grep command.
