This software allows you to execute applications automatically when the network connection goes up or down, ensuring that your system stays up-to-date and efficient without manual intervention.
MacIfMon is an efficient utility that aids in running a Mac OS X application or script automatically whenever a network connection either goes up or down. Upon launching the software, MacIfMon immediately proceeds to monitor the state of network connections on your Mac including both LAN and dial-up connections. With any status changes detected, MacIfMon will execute any pre-configured tasks related to the event that has occurred.
Notably, tasks that the software can execute include initiating the opening of a document, starting an application, running an AppleScript, and running a UNIX shell command or script. Interestingly, individuals who frequently switch their Mac between being connected and disconnected to the network could use MacIfMon to start network-intensive applications upon connection. This way, you can configure your Mail application to start via MacIfMon when your GPRS or LAN connection is up, and the Skype and BitTorrent applications could only start when connected to LAN to conserve bandwidth.
In addition to the benefits of using MacIfMon when connected, the software can equally boost your login process. This comes into play when you utilize the configuration described above and log into the system without any active connection. Consequently, none of the applications you’ve pre-configured to run will initiate, consequently speeding up your login process.
