Hi friends I am using netctl for my broadband connection which runs by pppoe method.
It successfully starts my pppoe connection the first time I start it whose interface is eth0.
but when stopping the connection it gives me this error:
sudo systemctl status netctl@bsnl.service

Apr 18 00:26:20 pranavarch systemd[1]: Unit netctl@bsnl.service entered failed statethen I have to run the following command to get the interface eth0 down:
sudo ip link set eth0 down
So, how to avoid this error and force netctl to successfully stop my connection so that I dont have to run the above command again and again.Thanks.

Hi friends , I also tried adding the following option in my profile:
ExecDownPre=/sbin/ip link set eth0 down
but it gives me this error:
Apr 18 00:26:20 pranavarch network[5998]: link: extra operand ‘down’
Apr 18 00:26:20 pranavarch network[5998]: Try 'link --help' for more information.
Please help me.

You are missing the word 'dev' in the ExecDownPre line:
ExecDownPre=/sbin/ip link set dev eth0 downThanks for spotting this bug, I'll fix it in the next release (so that the ExecDownPre line is then no longer needed).

Hi @Jouke, after adding the word dev, it is not giving me any error but still the interface does not go down on stopping the connection.I have to manually turn it off by "ip link set eth0 down". By, the way, are you one of developer of netctl?
