Hi,

when using tinc on a laptop or another mobile machine, it increases
usability if tinc tries to re-connect its peers immediatelly after a
network interface is up (instead of waiting for some retry timer to
expire). I think this can be achieved by putting a script in
/etc/network/if-up.d that sends SIGALRM to all running tinc instances.

I have attached the script I am using, but I guess it can be improved
(e.g. maching on executable path, not just binary name).

Greetings,
Joachim
