[Bug 1128403] Re: Passing the network device as argument to the scripts

[Sworddragon]

I have tested this and created the script /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/test
with the content:

#!/bin/bash

echo "$INTERFACE" >> /tmp/test.log 2>&1


After a reboot /tmp/test.log has just contained 3 empty lines. The variable $INTERFACE was not know at this point for the script.

Title:
  Passing the network device as argument to the scripts

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 dev with ifupdown 0.7.5ubuntu2. Because of this
  ticket
  (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1126560) I
  had the idea that it would be useful if ifupdown passes the related
  network device as argument to the scripts in /etc/network/*. This
  would it make easier to debug problems and the scripts could maybe
  profit from the information for which network device they are running.
