gwen wifi-channel-watcher # ./channel-watch 
Wifi interface appears to be inactive.  Using a Pi?
For troubleshooting: https://github.com/angela-d/wifi-channel-watcher/wiki/Troubleshooting

I think it's because you assume a fixed number of columns, but Network name can contain more fields

gwen wifi-channel-watcher # nmcli con show --active
NAME           UUID                                  TYPE             DEVICE 
Auto slniecko  561a7513-cd9b-4887-8a6b-15ebeeaa4293  802-11-wireless  wlp1s0 
vpn0           09273c1c-a70e-4d5f-a371-e2b6a247b443  tun              vpn0   

and your script looks at position $3

# wifi active?
if [ "$(nmcli con show --active | awk '$3 ~ "wifi"')" == "" ];
