QUESTION
In this thread I received some assistance with getting this script to work correctly. The script essentially sets my network location according to the SSID I'm connected to. This is now working, however, it generates a lot of nuisance notifications.
Every time my laptop joins a wifi network, the script runs, sets the network location, and gives me a notification. Since power nap periodically joins the wifi to check for emails/updates and what have you, after a long weekend I'll get dozens of identical notifications.
How can I modify the script so that it only send a notification if the network location is changed to something different, not just when the script runs? Can I somehow check the existing network location and only change it/trigger a notification if the "new" location is different to the "existing" location?
Again, I'm extremely new to scripting on mac and GitHub in general; my previous experience is all on Windows and largely self taught.

QUESTION
I'm trying to get this GitHub project up and running on my Mac, for the purposes of automatically changing my network location when I switch physical location (based on the SSID I'm connected to). I have two problems I'm so far unable to resolve.
- I've followed the instructions to update the appropriate location names, and associated SSID's, and it largely all works as it should. However, there's one SSID that has a space in the name, and when I connect to that SSID, it falls back to "Automatic" location as it did not find a matching SSID in the list. I have updated the script as per the suggestions below to put quote marks in all the places they are missing, but the issue appears to be in getting the SSID in the first place. The log file echoes the new SSID name, and if my SSID were
my wifi
it just echoesNew SSID Found: my
. So I likely just need to slightly change the line of code that gets the SSID (below), but I'm not sure how.
SSID=$(/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport -I | awk '/ SSID:/ {print $2}')
- I've completed the automated installation (executed
./install.sh
on the appropriate directory), and it has placed all the files in the relevant places. However, it does not automatically run whenever I switch SSID's. I can double click on the executable at any point and it will run and select the correct location, but it doesn't execute automatically, which is the whole point of the exercise. Have I missed a step somewhere?
I'm extremely new to scripting on mac and GitHub in general; my previous experience is all on Windows. So I'm probably overlooking something really simple, but I just don't have the skills yet to work out where it is.

I would like to launch a shell command when a specific external bluetooth device is connected to my Mac.
A nice way (without installing third party software) to do that is by adding a plist file in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
On this page, there is an example of launching an event when the wifi connects to a specific location. It is done by watching a specific file :
