Shell script to automatically login on UoH network. Cronjob runs every minute and the script pings 8.8.8.8 to check if you are connected to internet and are on university network. If not then uses curl for login.

1. Put authenticate.sh in a cron dir

   mkdir $HOME/cron && \
   cp authenticate.sh $HOME/cron/ && \
   vim $HOME/cron/authenticate.sh

   NOTE: Change the enrollment number and password to your own.

2. Install curl on Ubuntu/Debian (use yum on CentOs/RedHat or dnf on Fedora)

   sudo apt install -y curl

3. Add cronjob for automatic login.

   crontab -e

   Add the following line to the cron

   */1 * * * * /bin/bash -c "$HOME/cron/authenticate.sh"

   That's all folks!
