Package: ifplugd
Version: 0.28-11
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
When running the action scripts in /etc/ifplugd/action.d/, please
consider executing them in reverse order for the down action.
This allows scripts to do things before ifup and after ifdown of the
ifplugd controlled interface. For example, I would like to deactivate
wpa-roam managed wireless when a cable is plugged into ethernet device
and re-activate wpa-roam managed wireless when cable is unplugged. This
can be done with a single script if reverse execution is done on down
action. Will send the script in a separate bug report, for conideration
as a default behaviour.
I would also like to humbly suggest that #474746 be reconsidered, and
state that the --exit-on-error option probably isn't the greatest idea,
as you suspected at the time I initially suggested it. Below patch
removes that option too.
Thanks, Kel.
