Yep you are right, it isn't needed.
Now we need: someone in charge to change it ;)
Further:
Is $6 allways used ?
ipparam string
Provides an extra parameter to the ip-up and ip-down scripts.
If this option is given, the string supplied is given as the 6th
parameter to those scripts.
Would it be good to obsolete ip-up.local and use ip-up.d/somescripts instead ?
pro:
- it is more clear what it does, instead
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if-up.d
- it is sure that it gets executed, not depending on ipparam
contra:
- /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if-up.d has the same purpose, if it is
working allways
