Network related part of a script will not run in /lib/systemd/system-sleep

The purpose of the script is to re-enable a hidden SSID upon resume from sleep. Somehow the ability to restart a hidden SSID automatically was lost when I upgraded from 18.04 LTS to 20.04 LTS.

You can see from the script below how many ways I have tried to get this to work. The echo print to suspend.txt works every time upon resume. It is just the portion to restart the wifi that does not work.
All the commands I tried in the script work as expected when entered on the CLI and the /home/user/Desktop/wifi-ssid.sh works when double clicked.

The results from journalctl | grep systemd-sleep is below the script. Most notable is the error...

"Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device lo not available because device is strictly unmanaged)."

This must be something simple. Please help.

Networking is not made available until all scripts in the /lib/systemd/system-sleep directory finish executing.

Try sending networking related commands to the background with a delay of e.g. 10 seconds in a sub-shell and detach it i.e. change:

/usr/bin/nmcli c up id "SSID"

to:

(sleep 10; /usr/bin/nmcli c up id "SSID") & disown

Notice that disown is a bash builtin and depending on your system shell configuration /bin/sh might be linked to a different shell command interpreter other than bash .... For such case, you might call /bin/bash using a command string like so:

/bin/bash -c '(sleep 10; /usr/bin/nmcli c up id "SSID") & disown'

Or even in most cases calling /bin/sh with a sub-shell in a command string i.e. like so:

/bin/sh -c '(sleep 10; /usr/bin/nmcli c up id "SSID") &'

should fork a new detached process.

Another thing that you might need to keep that process alive is to explicitly specify/switch to a user e.g. your username or even root if your command/script requires elevated privileges to execute ... You can do this as well in a command string style but, you need to use different quoting style i.e. double quotes /bin/su username -c "/bin/bash -c '...'" e.g. like so:

/bin/su username -c "/bin/bash -c '(sleep 10; /usr/bin/nmcli c up id SSID) & disown'"

changing username to a valid account's user name on the system e.g. your actual account login user name.
