Make use of that physical button on the side of your laptop to run scripts instead of only turning your wifi on/off.
```
#!/bin/sh
# Simple bash script to run any command using the hardware radio switch on lenovo thinkpad x201
# The script checks the status of your wifi card's transmit power.
# Important, the script below assumes your wifi is ON when running the script. It checks this every two seconds and when you flip the switch will run a command (echo "Wifi is OFF") and stop the script (break)
while true; do
if iwconfig wlp2s0 | grep 'Tx-Power=off' > /dev/null; then
echo "Wifi is OFF"
break
else
echo "Wifi is ON"
fi
sleep 2
done
```
