Someone had a script on here not too long ago and I can't find it now. Basically what it did was check to see if a specific wifi network was available it would switch to it. I'm looking to deploy this at my school to prevent students from switching over to our teacher network. Someone had some loose lips and the password spread. There was also a section of the script where if there was not network named "student" or whatever it would then do nothing instead. I.E. if the student is at home.
