excellent - thanks - I thought there must be a way :-)

I'm terribly sorry, I don't understand that.

Do you mean that other implementations pass the interface name as $1,
possibly in addition to $IFACE?

If so, how would you feel about adding the 30 bytes to do it as standard?

========================================

I tried to google for things like "man /etc/network/if-down.d" , but
couldn't find any - is there a good place to look for a howto? Something
that would have told me about $IFACE?

Or do I need to learn to read source code better ?

well yes, but the average punter is not going to read that from the info
in the help text as it stands.
