[MacTUG] Ensuring Airport and Bluetooth is always off

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Mike P pointed out that even if Airport is turned off he has seen it come back on at various times. Given that issue and the fact that I have not figured out how to hide the icons for these in the menubar, I have decided to put the following in my loginhook to ensure both are turned off on login. It seems to work fine. Note bluetooth turning off requires me to use 'blueutil' which I have decided to bite the bullet and try. I have can always pull it if it is problematic.

Anyhow, this is going in my loginhook script

##PART 4: TURN OFF AIRPORT AND BLUETOOTH
##THE NEXT LINE REQUIRES BLUEUTIL TO BE IN /LIBRARY/LABS/SCRIPTS
/Library/Lab/scripts/blueutil off
##MAKE SURE THAT AIRPORT IS TURNED OFF
wifi=$(networksetup -listallhardwareports | grep -E "Wi-Fi" -A 1 | grep -o en.)
networksetup -setairportpower $wifi off


BTW, my loginhook is being called because I added a line in my deploystudio post install script that said I had a loginhook. This is the line I added in deploystudio:
##SET LOGIN HOOK
sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /Library/Lab/scripts/login_script

This all seems to work and is ensuring that these services are not running at login, so I will likely call my niggling problems 'resolved'
