But it's long seemed to me that the network admin scripts should get better support for dynamically adding/removing interfaces, and this ONBOOT problem is cut from the same fabric. > I checked out the latest version of hotplug (without installing it though) to > see if the IN_HOTPLUG variable was set somewhere but couldn't find it. It'd be easy to add this to /sbin/hotplug, to support "if (coming from...)" style spaghetti coding in admin scripts. But I'd rather leave such stuff to distro vendors. - Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
