Hi guys, nice app!

I'm trying the best way to starting/stopping after network connection/disconnection. Moreover it would be nice to send messages to multiple IPs : home, work, etc.

@cipper Growl supports forwarding notifys to other PCs

cipper | # 33 | 2010-10-31, 19:55 | Report

I don't need growl since I'm runing on debian/ubuntu. Plus I prefer to to not open ports from wan on the firewall.

I tried with these up/down scripts for automatic run/stop:

N900:/etc/network# cat if-pre-up.d/00_notifier_up
#!/bin/sh

MYIP=`ifconfig -a wlan0 | grep "inet addr" | sed 's/inet addr://g' | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ "$MYIP" == "192.168.0.5" ]
then su user -c /home/user/bin/notifier_client_home.py &
else su user -c /home/user/bin/notifier_client_work.py &
fi

N900:/etc/network# cat if-post-down.d/00_notifier_down
#!/bin/sh

PIDS=`ps | grep "notifier_client" | grep "/home/user/bin" | awk '{ORS=" ";print $1}'`
for i in $PIDS ; do kill -9 $i ; done

N900:/etc/network#



these work fine when executed in terminal but dont work automatically on network connection/disconnection

It means that the variable HOST has not be set. Have you got the latest client.py and did you put the desktop pc ip address in?

badboyuk | # 37 | 2010-10-31, 20:35 | Report

Yeah I did, I changed it in the place where it was marked.

Server.py

# Change this to your computer's hostname
# We might do this automatically in the future!
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.1", 50007

I changed it to this:

# Myhostname# We might do this automatically in the future!
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.2", 50007

And i changed the port to my static ip to which i have forwarded the port.


client.py

# CHANGE THE HOSTNAME TO THE HOSTNAME OR IP OF THE PC RUNNING THE SERVER COMPONENT
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.1", 50007

changed it to:



# Myhostname, PORT = "192.168.0.2", 50007

Windows XP working example.

@badboyuk
That looks strange, line 85? client.py is only around 68 lines.
Try use a clean/original client.py file then change the IP to your desktop/servers internal IP.

After that you just take the server.py also change the IP to your internal IP in my case it was "192.168.0.199" then you go to line 62 and replace it with the line i posted previous, or you can change it however you want it to be formated. Thats pretty much it if you want to have "custom names" showed up on some numbers then you add them "numbers" varibel in the client.py just like the examples.

Okay ive done it all again but still the same error. And there are still over 80 lines even as default, and I downloaded the file again from the site.
Im not sure what it is that im not doing right here......any suggestions?

That line should read:

Putting a # in front of any line, comments the line out and would explain why the script would not work.
