if their anyway else even in xterm to access it ??

You need to be root in order to run that command(sudo gainroot), which probably won't help for qbw, unless it runs as root.
If you are root, then you don't have iwtool installed, in which case, run 'apt-get install iw' as root.

Actually...forget about running it as root, try changing the path to /sbin/iwconfig..

Use Jww's command as it's a lot neater(I could never wrap my head around sed ^^) but it should look like...

Code:

echo "/sbin/iwconfig wlan0"|root|grep ESSID|sed "s/.*ESSID:\"//;s/\".*//"
