Ah, sorry, this is /etc/network/run on Debian; the directory is created by /etc/init.d/ifupdown, which may not be run yet when the udev rule triggers, yes. (Soon, it looks like /run will be the official place for this in both Debian and Ubuntu; this has been discussed on debian-devel, I don't know what the guidelines are for transitioning to it.) > I have been trying it and it doesn't work, it seems we don't have ifquery on > Debian (whatever that is) or at least I haven't been able to find it, is it > also upstart related? or some other Ubuntu difference? comments? ideas? Sorry for this as well! ifquery is an interface I added to ifupdown in Ubuntu specifically for use by jobs such as this one. It was submitted to Debian in bug #568479, but there has been no response from the maintainer; ifupdown is effectively unmaintained. And I see no way to reliably implement this udev rule without such an 'ifquery' interface. If you think this is the right way to go, perhaps you could consider NMUing ifupdown? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
