Missing middle of script

Question

okay heres the script i currently have
set theWiFi to do shell script "wifi=`system_profiler SPAirPortDataType|awk -F\": \" '/Current Wireless Network/{print \"\\ \"$2}'`
ifconfig | awk '/flags=|media|inet / {if (substr($2, 1, 6) == \"flags=\") printf(\"
%s \", $1);
else if ($1 == \"inet\") printf(\"%s \", $2);
else if ($1 == \"media:\") printf(substr($0, 9))}' | awk '$1 ~ /^en/'
echo $wifi
tell application "Finder"
activate
open application file "VPNClient.app" of folder "Desktop" of folder "DP" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
the first part of the script finds the network name, and second part opens the VPN client application, but i need a way to connect the two parts of the script so that when its connected to the wireless network 'pennstate' it opens the VPN client but if its connected to anything else, it just ends the script, any ideas? thanks in advance

Answer 1

Your shell script doesn't work for me, but I'll assume that it returns the appropriate name you're looking for. If so, the request:
i need a way to connect the two parts of the script so that when its connected to the wireless network 'pennstate' it opens the VPN client but if its connected to anything else, it just ends the script
is trivial:
Instead of:
tell application "Finder"
activate
open application file "VPNClient.app" of folder "Desktop" of folder "DP" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell
Just use:
if theWiFi = "pennstate" then tell application "VPNClient" to activate
You don't need the Finder to launch an application - just activate the app in question. The addition of the 'if theWifi...' part takes care of checking if you're on the right network.
