Mac app main menu?

[sarossell]

Does anyone know how to write an LB5 for Mac that runs from an icon on the main menu instead of or in addition to the dock?

I've run into a problem with my wi-fi connection dropping data throughput but still showing connection. To fix it, I just have to turn it off and on again and it automatically connects the saved wi-fi location in Preferences. I found the terminal command to do that...

networksetup -setairportpower en0 off

networksetup -setairportpower en0 on

I figure I can easily setup a simple ping with LB5 and when it fails, it would just run the off and on commands automatically.

I just don't don't want it running on the dock.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks,

I'm guessing you can run scripts from LB5 for the Mac. (I lost that ability with 64bit Mint Linux and Wine)
Or maybe just follow this hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=2012041321461476

sarossell, this might be useful too: www.dssw.co.uk/blog/2013-09-02-how-to-run-a-script-from-menu-item/

And you can edit the shell script to launch LibertyBasic to run a TKN of your choice to do the task.
