Recently, i decided to bring my laptop to the work, so i start using it and leaving my work PC as testing machine,, also connecting to online servers through it.<\/p>\n
In the work we used a static IP with a static gateway for each department, also with a specific resolv.conf configuration,, at home, i use another configuration for network and internet connection,, so every time i go home, i need to reconfigure the internet,, when i go to the work, i also need to reconfigure the network.. so i decided to write a script so it help me to automate this.<\/p>\n
Also as i said, i will use my work PC to connect to online servers, yes i can connect through my laptop, but when i go home i must connect to the work PC so i can connect to the online servers.<\/p>\n
mmmmm,, so my idea was to automate the network connection and also if am at the work then each terminal i open it must login directly to my work PC,,, also my mind didn’t work from a long time maybe 3 months and i started to 4get many things so i need to refresh it somehow \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
the following is the script i wrote:<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/bash
\n##Default to be home :S
\nwhereIam=’scripts\/work-home\/work’
\ntouch ~\/$whereIam;<\/p>\nwhile true
\ndo
\nif [ -f ~\/$whereIam ]
\nthen
\nsudo \/home\/idle-boy\/scripts\/work-home\/net_conf.sh 1 > \/dev\/null
\nzenity –notification –window-icon=\/usr\/share\/icons\/Fedora\/48×48\/apps\/redhat-main-menu.png –text ‘I am in the work!’;
\nrm -rf ~\/scripts\/work-home\/work
\nelse
\nsudo \/home\/idle-boy\/scripts\/work-home\/net_conf.sh 0 \/dev\/null
\nzenity –notification –window-icon=\/usr\/share\/icons\/HighContrast-SVG\/scalable\/emotes\/face-wink.svg –text ‘OoOpPps am home!?’;
\ntouch ~\/scripts\/work-home\/work
\nfi
\ndone<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe script simply touch a file under ~\/scripts\/work-home\/ named ‘work’,, if the file exist then am in the work,, if the file not exist then am at home,, also i used zenity so it display a notification so when i want to change mode i just click on it.<\/p>\n
for internet configuration i wrote the script \/home\/idle-boy\/scripts\/work-home\/net_conf.sh , and i use sudo to run it as root,, the script is:<\/p>\n
#!\/bin\/bash<\/p>\n
if [ $1 -eq 1 ]
\nthen
\n## work conf:
\n#stop network
\n\/etc\/init.d\/NetworkManager stop
\n\/etc\/init.d\/network stop
\n#configure eth0
\n\/sbin\/ifconfig eth0 192.100.80.196 netmask 255.255.254.0
\n#bring loopback interface up
\n\/sbin\/ifconfig lo up
\n#add gateway
\n\/sbin\/route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw 192.100.81.9
\n#insert resolv.conf configuration
\n#i always lock resolv.conf, so unlock it
\nchattr -i \/etc\/resolv.conf

\necho ‘nameserver 127.0.0.1’ >> \/etc\/resolv.conf
\necho ‘nameserver 192.100.81.9’ >> \/etc\/resolv.conf
\n#lock it again
\nchattr +i \/etc\/resolv.conf
\nelse
\n## home conf:
\n#bring up the network and NetworkManager
\n#i use NetworkManager to connect to wlan, so it take everything from the router via DHCP
\n\/etc\/init.d\/network restart
\n\/etc\/init.d\/NetworkManager restart
\n#i don’t like getting resolv.conf configuration via NetworkManager, am home!,, so:
\nchattr -i \/etc\/resolv.conf
\n> \/etc\/resolv.conf
