BT Wifi logs me out for no apparent reason several times a day.. so I wrote a cron script to reconnect me every few minutes!

If it detects a lack of internet connectivity, it runs a virtual browser (phantom JS) and logs you in.

Recursive clone is important since I am using submodule!

git clone --recursive git@github.com:karlicoss/bt-wifi-reconnect.git

cp config.py.example config.py
vim config.py # type in path to phantomjs, and your credentials
python3 check_and_reconnect.py

1. crontab -e
2. add an entry like this */2 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /full/path/to/script/bt_check_and_reconnect.py, this runs the script every two minutes

Easy peasy!

• pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• phantomjs (see config.py.example for more details)
