Play sound when wireless network found?

[gwalther]

I try and connect to a wireless network...on boot...using commands in ../opt/bootlocal.sh
The last command is:

udhcpc -b -i wlan0

Is there a way to play  a wav file  (using aplay)... if a successful connection is made?

Not on TC to test it, but one of these may work.  Either

udhcpc -b -i wlan0 && aplay file.wav

or the below placed after the dhcp command:
 


if [ "$?" -eq "0" ];then
  aplay file.wav
fi

One of those would work in general use, but with detecting connectivity there may be more to it, like using iwconfig and grepping output.

Thanks....tried the second solution and it seems to work.  I hear wav file about 12 secs after the desktop first appears....system had connected.  Need to test some more, when system is not available and/or fails to connect.
