This macro triggers my Ethernet cable plugged in into my Airbook and then stops Wifi.

Hello,

This is just what I was looking for!

I’m going to try this out.

Here's what Walter's macro above looks like:

#4

Love this! Thank you!! Can't wait to check it out!!!

#5

Hi. Sounds like a good idea.

So why are you doing this?
Is it to always have higher speed in case Ethernet is not primary interface or some other reason?

#6

One reason is because printing in our office is only possible via Ethernet. If WiFi is on I can not print to the office printers.

#7

Got it. That makes sense.

And do you have another macro to enable wifi when you disconnect Ethernet? Perhaps on instead of off in that command?

#8

Yes.

I defined the «reverse» USB trigger.

Hey Walter,

There's no point in using an AppleScript to run a shell script when it's not part of a larger script.

Use an Execute a Shell Script action instead.

I adopted these two macros. Thanks for sharing.
Did use shell script action as @ccstone suggested.

I adopted the same now too, it's prepared, will try as soon I am in the office again.
Thanks to @ccstone too for that suggestion!
