all applescript main.scpt in starts keepalive.sh. of custom code translate path macintosh hd:users:me /users/me. don't why posix path built applescript wasn't used.

keepalive.sh start ping command ping yahoo.com indefinitely every 5 seconds.

guess objective not never let wireless link idle more 5 seconds.



afaik. main.scpt can simplified to:

code:

 set scriptname "keepalive.sh" -- change script called  set mypath path me set mypath posix path of mypath  shell script "/bin/sh " & mypath & "contents/resources/scripts/" & scriptname & " &> /dev/null"
