netcfg before/after interface up/down

I want to start or stop openvpn and ddclient after interface is up or down.

from the wiki, I got PRE_UP, POST_UP, PRE_DOWN, POST_DOWN variables, but I don't know where to put them to make it works.

the nearest thing I can get is put them into /etc/network.d/interfaces/{wlan0, eth0,...} or put them into /usr/lib/network/hooks.

thanks.

You put those statements in the actual netcfg profile (/etc/network.d/<profilename>)

The locations he mention work as well. Hence my question.

Re: netcfg before/after interface up/down

Did you try the locations you mentioned in your first post?

Re: netcfg before/after interface up/down

I put them into  /usr/lib/network/hooks now. Although it's not a best solution to put configuration files into /usr/lib/, but it's the best way to do it right now.

[SOLVED] thanks for all your replies.

[UPDATE] I also found an issue about it at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/27496?s … &closedto=, it suggests use /etc/network.d/hooks instead.

Re: netcfg before/after interface up/down

Didn't it work with /etc/network.d/interfaces/{eth0,wlan0}?

Re: netcfg before/after interface up/down

maybe it works. I'm not tested. I'm a laptop user, so I still need configure them both in /etc/network.d/interfaces/eth0 and /etc/network.d/interfaces/wlan0. /etc/network.d/interfaces is for per interface configuration, while /etc/network/hooks is for hooks. (I symbolic link them into /usr/lib/network/hooks). And I prefer the hooks way.
