VORGEHEN ZUM AKTIVIEREN BZW. ÄNDERN DES PI ALS WLAN HOTSPOT:

Über serielles Terminal (USB-Kabel) auf pi einloggen. Falls WLAN Hotspot bereits existiert, dann mit dem PC sich damit verbinden und ein SSH Terminal Sitzung zum WLAN 192.168.8.1 verbinden. Dann die folgendes eingeben:

1 2	Sudo touch /usr/share/network-conf/ap/iptables.up.rules sudo turn-wifi-into-apmode yes

SSID und Passwort eingeben:
default: SSID=sensor-xx PASSWORD=123456789

ALTERNATIVES VORGEHEN ZUM EINRICHTEN DES PI ALS CLIENT:

# Wifi Hotspot am PC einrichten
# Über serielles Terminal auf pi einloggen, dann

1 2	sudo nmcli dev wifi sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PASSWORD" ifname wlan0

# die Einstellungen werden gespeichert und auch nach Neustart wird Verbindung aufgebaut.

FALLS SCHON MAL IN DEN NETZWERKEINSTELLUNGEN RUMGEFUSCHT WURDE:

1	sudo nmcli dev

#if the status of a device is "unmanaged" it means that device cannot be accessed by NetworkManager. To make it accessed you need to clear the settings under "/etc/network/interfaces" and reboot your system.

sudo nmcli r wifi on

sudo nmcli dev wifi connect "SSID" password "PASSWORD" ifname wlan0

How do I grab an INI value within a shell script?

Just include your .ini file into bash body:

File example.ini:

1
2
3

DBNAME=test
DBUSER=scott
DBPASSWORD=tiger

File example.sh

#!/bin/bash
#Including .ini file
. example.ini
#Test
echo "${DBNAME}   ${DBUSER}  ${DBPASSWORD}"
