dmenu based application for Linux that connects to the strongest open wireless network

##How to use:

###Packages required: The following packages must be installed on your system:

• dhcpcd (already installed by default on most linux distros)
• dmenu (from dmenu.suckless.org)

###Instructions:

1. copy wifi as /bin/wifi
2. copy dmenu_wifi as /bin/dmenu_wifi
3. replace wlp4s0 by the name of your wireless interface (for example, wlan0)
4. grant execute permission to above files by

chmod +x /bin/wifi /bin/dmenu_wifi

4. modify sudoers file to allow execution of 'sudo dmenu_wifi' without password
5. bind the command 'sudo dmenu_wifi' to any key combination of your choice - there is an easy way to do this on most linux distros

Now the specified key combination will trigger a menu showing all wireless networks, strongest first. You can connect to any one of them!

Error with setting ESSID

Hello! I am fairly new to linux scripting, and have been working on a project for my work, and I came across this. I followed the steps for setting up the wifi script on my raspberry pi zero w, and I try to run it, and it gives me a permission error, so I run it as root, and I get the following error:

"Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
too few arguments."

Any ideas? Thanks!!
