/usr/libexec/nm-ifup

I described what happens in an earlier post.

[egreshko@f29bk ~]$ which ifup
/usr/sbin/ifup

[egreshko@f29bk ~]$ ll /usr/sbin/ifup
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 22 Nov  7 10:35 /usr/sbin/ifup -> /etc/alternatives/ifup

[egreshko@f29bk ~]$ ll /etc/alternatives/ifup
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 Nov  7 10:35 /etc/alternatives/ifup -> 
/usr/libexec/nm-ifup

[egreshko@f29bk ~]$ cat /usr/libexec/nm-ifup
#!/usr/bin/sh
nmcli connection load "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$1" &&
exec nmcli connection up filename "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-$1"
