It simply waits for OSX to actually tell it that a new SSID has been connected, registering for notifications must be much less CPU draining then doing a check every 15seconds Well i may not be right in the way to say that your script uses more resources and such, but mine does not use any such idle handler and does not do checks.

And there are a lot of ways to set that idle handler in AS so you're not tying up resources -- I mean, how much are you using to run this sucker every 15, 30, or 60 seconds? How does your app avoid using resources while it "waits for these events to happen"? Kudos for the app. But shame on you for the FUD.

Or you can use Lingon or Cronnix to run scripts relying on this shell script. As I commented over on versiontracker, this sort of utility is much-needed, as this sort of thing needs to be way easier to do. I like backups to run when I get on my home network, and I like certain security protocols to be in place when I detect a non-home network.
