hullo group,

 i have been using internet successfully over the last couple of months by typing the following commands.

1) hcitool scan

  ==>which gives me the <b-addr>

2) rfcoomm bind 0 <b-addr> 7

3) wvdial GPRS
 
  ==> GPRS being some file i wrote as directed by a pdf which i used as 
      guidance.

Que)Can any1 tell me how to automate these 3 steps so that i donot have to do this every time i want to connect. My friends tell me i have to write a executable file. I have very limited knowledge of linux-programming (scripting if thats what u call it!!!), so please if any1 understands what that means..???

Please advice.....!!!!


Thanx....


Adil

if you know the BD_ADDR then you can use the rfcomm autobind feature to
create the /dev/rfcomm0 device. Check /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf and
make sure that the init script executes "rfcomm bind all" at some point.
After that you only have to call "wvdial GPRS" to be happy.

Regards

Marcel
