this is the launchctl plist file I used to run my .trackr script

.trackr.sh

#!/bin/bash

WIFISTAT=$(networksetup -getairportpower en1 | grep -o Off)

# this will turn on the wifi if need be and get the geolocaiton
# from CoreLocationCLI then turn the wifi back off if appropriate.
# CoreLocationCLIP seems to have a bug with -once where it pulls old gps
# data rather than the current data so I have to run it then kill it then
# run it with once to get the desired results.
if [ "$WIFISTAT" == "Off" ]; then
	networksetup -setairportpower en1 on
	sleep 10
	/Users/doug/.CoreLocationCLI &
	sleep 5
	killall .CoreLocationCLI
	GEOLOCATION=$(/Users/doug/.CoreLocationCLI -once)
	networksetup -setairportpower en1 off
else
	/Users/doug/.CoreLocationCLI & 
        sleep 5
        killall .CoreLocationCLI
	GEOLOCATION=$(/Users/doug/.CoreLocationCLI -once)
fi
