I actually do exactly the same thing in my firewall UML instance --- but then its entire purpose is to route packets and act as a barrier between my machine and the net so this is hardly a catastrophe, and by that point the daemon which kicks my crappy router until it brings the line up has been started, so it's all asynchronous and causes no net delay... ... but if the interface startup doesn't proceed asynchronously with respect to daemon startup, then it's bad, indeed. -- `Come now, you should know that whenever you plan the duration of your unplanned downtime, you should add in padding for random management freakouts.' ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
