Thanks for the reply kwitty42. Unfortunately you're talking to a linux novice
and I am
not sure of all the answers but...
I am running Raspian Jessie which does use systemd I believe.
I have also confirmed that dnsmasq runs a startup script in /etc/init.d which
says
that it requires $NETWORK.
Can you spell out for me how I check the interface status in the script please?
Cheers,
DG
