You can do that with the global control interface (-g command line
parameter). The RESUME command can be issued on that global control
interface even if there are no currently configured network interfaces
in the wpa_supplicant process (e.g., using the same -g option with
wpa_cli). That global control interface can be a UNIX domain socket file
on the file system or from the abstract socket namespace (-g
@abstract:example).
