Run a program when

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am on an embedded system. I'd like to receive notification of when a network interface has become available. This is to handle the case when the system is booted up without any network plugged in, and then someone plugs in a network at some point later. Ideally, I'd like to be notified when the interface actually receives a DHCP address, but if that's not possible, then a notification on the network being plugged in would work as well.

Can udev help me with this? Can I write a rule that runs some sort of program when this happens? I saw references on the mailing list to ethtool or some other things, but I wasn't sure what the latest status was.

Thanks!
-James
