Package: ifupdown
Version: 0.6.7
Severity: normal


I run Etch on a laptop and cardmgr configures my ethernet card. I'm trying to
configure ifupdown to start fetchmail only after the network is up. I then
noticed that /etc/network/if-post-up.d/ didn't exist. I created it and dropped 
my
script there. However, it's not executed when the interface is brought up.

The man page for interfaces(5) says about the pre and post options:

       There  exists  for  each  of  the  above  mentioned options a directory
       /etc/net- work/if-<option>.d/ the scripts in  which  are  run  (with  no
       arguments)  using run-parts(8) after the option itself has been
       processed.

iface eth0 inet dhcp
    post-up /etc/network/if-post-up.d/fetchmail

then the script is executed.

I'm not quite sure if I'm missing something here, or the man page is not in 
sync with the behaviour of the utility.
