I want to be able to change my Network Location from Automatic to one called 'AAA' using an icon on my desktop (and one to change it back to Automatic).
Is Automator what I would use to create this? And how do I go about making this?
Regards
Automator not as an action directly, but you can use "Run Shell Script" (Drag & Drop to the right side) with the command
scselect Automatic
and
scselect AAA
Make two programs (Save As -> File Format "Application"), one for Location "Automatic" and one for location "AAA"
I haven't tried this yet but is there any reason this could not run as a Service? That way it's available from a right click and doesn't clutter up the desktop or Dock.
How would you go about making this as a service?
Thanks.
Sorry about that I should have included that information in the earlier post. Check out this article for an overview of how services behave http://www.atpm.com/16.01/services.shtml It has been a while since I wrote it but the information was written for Snow Leopard. If you are already familiar with what services are you can skip to the section called Customizable Services.
Basically what you will do is launch Automator and select Service. When the window appears and you choose what the service will act upon choose "no input" in the drop down menu and select when you want it to appear from the second drop down,
After you have done that add the actions Stress Test posted earlier in the thread to your workflow. The last step is to save your work with a descriptive name. You will have one of these mini single step workflows for each location that you want to change.
Change 'Network Location' using Automator?
