So you should either get more specific about the kind of information you want, so whether you are talking about network state or netctl's opinion about it (not that these are likely to diverge, but there's my point)... Uhm... a glance into netctl's source just revealed it's a bash script. You'll need exec anyway. I'd be interested in the features you added, have you considered githubbing your customizations? cheers! mar77i
