Package: ifplugd
Hi,
instead of starting ifplugd from init, couldn't there be an
option in /etc/network/interfaces like use-ifplugd
then when you ifup ethX (or boot ifupdown runs)
the interface is started with ifplug
and when you ifdown, the interface and ifplug is stopped.
ofcourse this would require ifupdown to know if its being
called from ifplugd or not (ie should it start ifplugd or
has cable been plugged in and ifplugd is asking for the
interface to come up)
easiest way (i think) is to add an --ifplug to ifupdown.
ifplugd can call ifupdown with it, and it will simply bring
the interface up and down. with out it it will also start stop
ifplugd (and bring the interface down or up). assuming
the use-ifplug is in config else --ifplug is ignored
(I thought another way is to see if a ifplugd is already
running for given interface, but the only works for bringing
and interafce up, ifupdown wont know what to do in down
case (bring iface down, and kill or leave ifplugd?))
you find this interdependancy bad.
but when i ifdown ethX i want it down and ifplug stopped
and not bringing it back up again.
Also i would like ifplugd to not start particular interfaces until
i ifup it.
Thank you
Thorben
