Run a script based on network / DHCP changes
Authored by: jamieo on Sep 30, '04 06:30:27AM

Since converting to macos I am really pleased how well it handles moving between networks and being able to hook into this makes it even better! How macos handles things like proxies based on your Location is very useful for switching between home and work. However not all apps use the system proxy settings - e.g. mozilla

What I'd like to do is, on a network switch be able to change my mozilla proxy settings. I know how to change the settings for mozilla, but how to tie in the calling of this script (which is effectively at system level) with my user?

I could just have the script update proxy settings for specific users, or I could look to see who is logged in and run some scripts in their home directory. Any ideas?
