Will the rcmscript(4) mechanism do what you need? > Also, is there a way to get notifications when a network cable is > plugged in or out (equivalent to monitoring ifi_flags on a > socket(PF_NETLINK, SOCK_DGRAM, NETLINK_ROUTE) on Linux)? If you're only concerned with link up/down events for datalinks associated with IP interfaces, you can use a routing socket (see route(7P)) and track changes to the IFF_RUNNING flag. If IFF_RUNNING is clear, the IP interface is not usable, usually because the cable has been unplugged. -- meem _______________________________________________ opensolaris-code mailing list opensolaris-code@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolaris-code
