To do this, I have written a script that waits until no more IP address is found in "tentative" state. Unfortunately, this is so fast that the script terminates before the first address reaches "tentative" state. Is there a way to find out whether the system is trying to do SLAAC on any interface (for example information inside /proc or /sys), so that one can wait for the IP address to appear, or is a fixed "sleep 5" the only thing one can do here?
