Kopete auto connect

Hi,

I use NetworkManager as network backend and configure Kopete to auto connect on startup. But I still have to manually set Kopete to online after I login KDE and wireless network is ready. Is it possible to make Kopete auto connect after network link is ready?

Thanks.

Re: Kopete auto connect

Hey a workaround would be to start kopete by this

trys=30 # how many times we check for connections
while [ ! "$( LANG=C nmcli con show -a | tail -n 1 )" = "NAME  UUID  TYPE  DEVICE" ] ; do  # wait until we get an active connection
    trys=$((trys-1))
    sleep 2
    if [ $trys -le 0 ] ; then
	kdialog --icon kopete --caption kopete --title "No Connection" --error "No Connection found"
        exit 1
    fi
done
kopete
