M.G.A.P.S --> Maximum Galoots Atypical PHP Soapbox! :: General purpose here we come!

Maximum Galoots Atypical PHP Soapbox demonstrates using a few lines of PHP to point a directional WiFi antenna in real time.
With all the probs, projects, and emergencies, I have to say that I love PHP. I spent the first half of today working on getting a Belkin 802.11b PCI card to work with an access point up the street using a home made (~) 24db directional antenna. The antenna is strong! However, it was absolute cake to hack out something real fast to see what the card was doing using php. Remeber, this is being done from the command line.

<?

<?php

while(true)
{
passthru('clear');
passthru('/sbin/iwconfig eth2');
sleep(1);
}

?>

?>
