Suspended state deactivates monitor mode

[SatoshiNakamoto]

I’m running BT5R1-GNOME-32 as an ISO on a live CD.

I have open anywhere between 10 to 20 terminals at a time, each monitoring a different network using airodump-ng. It’s only necessary to monitor during certain times of the day, so I like to put the system into a suspended state the rest of the time.

The problem is, when I wake up my machine, monitor mode has been disabled, forcing airodump to stop its monitoring in all open terminals, giving the following message:

Airodump-ng

Read failed: Network is down
Interface mon0:
Ioctl (SIOCGIFINDEX) failed: No such device
Can’t reopen mon0

The only thing I can do is copy/paste the original command line in each terminal to get the processes running again. But this is an inconvenience I would like to avoid if possible. I would greatly appreciate any advice concerning this matter. Thank you.

A related question: What is the maximum number of airodump scans advisable to be running simultaneously? (I can guess it depends on one’s wireless network adaptor and processing power/memory...)

I think sometimes people forget that backtrack is based off of ubuntu so alot of their questions can be answered by checking out ubuntu forums or other ubuntu internet resources. Check out this link and see if it helps. It explains how to launch a script after resuming from suspend. Then you just need to create a simple script that runs the commands that you are copy/pasting.
