        Yes, same thing… I didt know it exist alredy, but I got same thing.  Well maybe more functionality on server side, like private profiles, because its not that good for DownTown Alliance to say that their AP is down on 60 Wall for 7 days , especially when we have our office on 120 :-P

          its part of the wifidog project maybe i can get it to work on pfsense
          the pfsense captive portalneeds a popup windows to be open
          wifidog don't need that so on pda's and mobile foons it works to

          http://dev.wifidog.org/wiki/About

          Features

          * Captive portal which lets hotspot owners communicate with their users (custom content management).
              * Wifidog gateway runs on GNU/Linux server and embedded device like the Linksys WRT54G with OpenWRT.
              * Multi-language support: English, French, German and Portuguese.
              * Maintain the connection by checking network activity instead of a javascript window. This allows PDAs and cellphones to connect.
              * Users are unique and have a valid email address in order to open an account. Their privacy must be respected. You can also use a splash only page and do not ask user to create an account.
              * Users are able to create a working account directly from any hotspot. New users sign on from any hotspot, create their account and are granted access for 15 minutes to confirm an email. If they don't, they are disconnected.
              * Hotspot monitoring by two way heartbeating, so the central server always knows which hotspots are up, regardles of dynamic DNS, firewalls, etc.
              * Firewall has one rule to jump in, one to jump out when a connection is rejected, and one to jump out when a connection is accepted. The gateway must do its own NAT. All this allows wifidog to be integrated easily into an existing firewall configuration.
              * Statistics : Cumulative bandwidth usage accounting (per connection, per user, per hotspot)
              * Self-identification of the gateways ???

            I have barebone for what they ahave alredy! (
            Let me finish some parts and I will release clinet code)
            I have CP wotking on my cell :-P
            Content managmant is easy, ad managment is possible too (but sorry I pattented the ad managment :-P )
            I even can do way more what they have if some on will help me with dirty GUI work.

            The down side of they have (i thiink) is that they want to controll a hotspot in fill, they becomeing an ISP and if device is odd to be used by ISP lime ourselfs you are getting in to the conflict, who should have client info etc. The thing  wthat im integrating is simplified version of our internal and propriatary idea on hotspot managmant. It is designed that all the info and controll will be cept by the hotspot owner, we just have and interface to monitor whats going on at the moment (in fiture I might add ability to remotely controll)

                Ok, i got too much work till the end of the next week but I will try to fonish the first release ASAP, but not sure when… I can do it faster , w/o any server goodies, so that the device just populates the status on the server and you can view list of all devicess... no user accounts or stuff like that... thats what I have so far... I need to add user account and account managmant on the sever.. + configure te doman etc

                  Im getting "World: not found"

                  
                  USERNAME=grep 'World' /usr/local/StatusNotifier/var/status_notifier_conf.php; 
                  echo "Username: $USERNAME";

                  	$lrc_box_name = "";
                  	$lrc_box_location = "Bk";
                  	$lrc_box_comments = "Main Test Site on Wall";
                  // Hello World this is a test of grep file serach 
                  	?>

                        One more question:
                        How can I strip begining and ending character of the string?
                        Like I have username variable shrown as "username" (quotes are shown) and I want to strip out quotes
