[SOLVED]Running a script before starting the network daemon

Inxsible · 2010-07-15 05:28:19

I want to run a script, which requires root permissions before starting the network daemon.
How would I go about achieving that? I know the commands, but I need to do this before starting network in my DAEMONS array.

Can I just create a daemon script and add it to the DAEMONS array before starting @network?

How would I give it root access? via sudoers?

DAEMONS=( ... !network ...)
Run your script, start the network.

you mean start the network in the script itself? That could possibly work. Let me try it out.

I want this for all users of the system, so I guess I can place the script in the /etc/rc.d folder?

Somewhere in /etc for sure :-)

Or use netcfg, which supports exactly what you want.

Off to man netcfg / wiki: netcfg

I read the wiki for netcfg and I was a little confused between
net-profiles -- which starts up the profiles on boot and
net-auto-wired -- which automatically connects to wired networks.

How are they different? And if they are different, do I need to have both in my DAEMONS array?

Ok. I have created a profile and everything works except that I get this message/error

╔═[02:38]═[murtuza @ wolfdale]

What does that mean?

It seems to be a netcfg bug.
