there is no point in ifupdown providing the up command facility if the
up commands don't get run on reconnect as well as initial connect?
Yes. It would be *completely* useless.

The new ifupdown uses pppd's updetach option. Run with this option,
pppd only exits after it has made a connection. Since ifup runs up

I think Robert thought about if the scripts are rerun if pppd loses
connection and reconnects - typically with a different IP.
FYI: The experimental ifupdown does not currently rerun up scripts if
pppd reconnects.

Is not the same true for DHCP ?
I can see why, in the case of PPP interfaces, that might be desired. I am
not sure that we should implement it, though. It would

I agree with Jörg, though, that this should be unified for sarge+1.
I doubt this is even possible, the semantics are very different for any
non-trivial scenario (and for many trivial ones too).

The experimental version of ifupdown addresses this to some extent. The
if-up.d scripts are run only after the PPP interface is created.

Hi,
why ppp provides its own mechanism of telling programs when the interface
is coming up or down? Many programs register for the ppp mechanism, but
not for the network mechanism. Where is the difference and why both isn't
the same?
