[Idea] automatic updater/downloader

[sabestian]

Imagine...

You come back home (or arrive at work), your device connect to WiFi. Then, automatically, your device sends/receives emails, your weather program updates, xtra downloads it's data, whatever you set it up for. Now, I have to do it all myself, to avoid charges.

A few programs do it automatically when connected to WiFi but not enough of them. I would love to have it done for me. An application that would start predefined programs (such as xtra) and trigger certain events (user defined) upon connection to WiFi.

Is it possible? Anyone smart enough out there?

I certainly don't want to "get myself in trouble" or do anything resulting in "Disciplinary Action" against me... I am a law obeying citizen, well, most of the time. Could you please move this thread Q&A to get me out of this pickle, please? Sorry for causing trouble.

@ Hammerz

Thanks for these. WifiLocations is a cool program but it does the opposite thing to what I thought about, actually. CommMgrPro... I will have to look into it closer but it seems to be an overkill and still not doing what is needed.

It should be: WiFi connecting should start predefined applications and or trigger certain actions within them. It should be universal, any location, any network. The point of it is to download as much needed data from the net to our devices as possible whenever the opportunity arises. For free, automatically and exactly what we need.

:D Don't worry, I am far from a trouble maker. A few smileys haven't killed anyone yet! All the best.

Bumpity bump for the thread question/idea! I hate remembering to do it all, maybe I'm lazy, I don't know. And I always forget to update something. I should perhaps scribble a list of "to do on wifi connection" things on a yellow posted note and tape it to my device... ;)
