>From the manpage: """ When ifupdown is being called with the --all option, before doing anything to interfaces, if calls all the hook scripts (pre-up or down) with IFACE set to "--all", LOGICAL set to the current value of --allow parameter (or "auto" if it's not set), ADDRFAM="meta" and METHOD="none". After all the interfaces have been brought up or taken down, the appropriate scripts (up or post-down) are executed. """
So when called with -a, it'll first call the hooks with IFACE="--all" and then call them again for each interface. ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126560 Title: /etc/networking/* are executed multiple times To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1126560/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
