onConnect Monitor/Adjust System Configuration Based on Network

I initially just wanted to adjust my sound depending on whether I was at work, or at home on my laptop. I decided to try and write something I could plug additional things into over time, to automate any task I normally do when moving between known networks.

This is also the first time I've shared something I wrote on github. I'm sure I broke every rule in the book on best practices, as I am self taught/not a developer. Feel free to check it out though, OnConnect GitHub. I welcome any feedback.:)

I'm not sure I like using the MAC for this, I debated using ESSID and may very well go back to that. I don't like the case of finding more than one MAC that might have a config found(work), but I also wanted to read/parse from a file though not a command+stdout parsing. I couldn't find a reliable method for obtaining the ESSID from a file, yet.

Some example of it working, for me atleast:)
:::bash
#no network, no macs found, default config
