network still won't programs

network still won't programs

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, Greg I put a shell script in /etc/network/if-up and it did not run
automatically.  I just went and editted /etc/init.d/networking and after
the ifup -a line I added /usr/local/bin/dns2go & and it worked ok.  I
don't know if that is the best way and if there is a better way to make a
program run in debian when the network starts please let me know.  I am
also wanting to know how to make a command execicute just before login
like in redhat /etc/rc.d/rc.local would do this put debian does not use
it.  How can I write a shell script with the commands to run just before
login starts such as removing .bash_history for all users and what command
would do that the quickest way?

No wonder. You were supposed to put it in /etc/network/if-up.d, not in
/etc/network/if-up, that path doesn't even exist.

As long as it works for you, I wouldn't worry if it's the best way or not.

Chuck wrote about this issue in a message to the list. I've got a copy
of it here, but rather then forwarding to the list what is already in
the archive, let me see if I can find it in the archive, and provide
the URL instead. Yup, here it is:

<http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/pipermail/speakup/2005-April/034025.html>

As for deleting the bash history, I seem to recall that this can be
enabled in a local profile, or in a per-user bashrc, but I'm not sure
about that.

Hi, I also tried if-up.d and that did not work so I just put it in the
networking script.  That url did not work, I got a 404 error when I
tried going to it.  How do I view the archives past the current month?
When I go to the archive page I just see the archives for the current
month.On Sat, 2 Sep 2006, Gregory Nowak wrote:

Hmm, I don't know why that would be, since I just cut and paste the
URL I provided from my post, and lynx went to it just fine.

You select the links for author/subject/thread under the month you
want to look at, at the top of the page.

Script file must have executable attribute?
