Is it possible under SL6.1 to run a script (or insert commands in

runs?? Like for example it can do with debian/ubuntu: post-up
post-down.
/sbin/ifup-pre-local and /sbin/ifdown-pre-local are executed (if exist)
before bringing interface up& down
/sbin/ifup-local and /sbin/ifup-local are executed (if exist) after
bringing interface up& down and setting up routes.
Argument to each will be interface name. Note that if you have aliases,
this script will be called for each alias.
OK, I have such a file that I still have to manually run when the system
reboots. I get no error messages nor is the file run.
# ls --lcontext /sbin/ifup-local
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 root root 329 Jul 25
13:30 /sbin/ifup-local
Any hints what I may have wrong?
Is your network setup managed by "network" service or NetworkManager? If
later, I don't think it cares about these local scripts at all..
If you are using "network", try to find out if it runs or not by putting
something simple inside, like
#!/bin/sh
echo "$@"> /tmp/ifup-local-test
If you need NetworkManager, I don't think I can give any advice on how
to make it work when NM manages network..
I knew there was a reason I didn't like NetworkManager. It seems it is
time to get it out of the picture entirely. If it ignores those files it
is extremely broken.
