Erich:
Thank you for spotting this; yes, I had backed it up. It turns out to get
picked up by backing up /etc.
I am using the assert script with only this modification: an "echo
<message>" line as the script starts, just before the loop runs, and just
after the loop, before exit. That let me see that the assert script was
called at all.
I tried running the commands in it directly at the command line--at least
to find out what dropped into the loop. They return only one interface (wc
-l returns the digit 1).
I'll see what else I can learn.
Respectfully,
Greg

I guess you must have modified the assert script as it is written for 2
interfaces and would run at a wrong init level.
I believe it does not run in your case for some reason difficult to
diagnose unless you tell us more about the way you implemented it.
I am pretty certain your problems stem from the interface not being up and
the assert script failing for some reason.
It does not have a backup routine, so it would be saved by etc I guess. So
here is the stupid question, did you back it up?
regards
Erich
