NAME
ifplugd - A link detection daemon for ethernet devices
SYNOPSIS
ifplugd [options]
DESCRIPTION
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with on-board network adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is really connected.
It uses your distribution's native ifup/ifdown programs, but can be configured to do anything you wish when the state of the interface changes. It may ignore short unplugged whiles (-d option) or plugged whiles (-u option).
ifplugd may be used in "compatibility mode" by specifying -F on the command line. Than ifplugd will treat network drivers which do not support link beat querying as always online.
OPTIONS
-a | --no-auto
Do not enable interface automatically (default: off)
-n | --no-daemon
Do not daemonize (for debugging) (default: off)
-s | --no-syslog
Do not use syslog, use stdout instead (for debugging) (default: off).
-b | --no-beep
Do not beep (off)
-f | --ignore-fail
Ignore detection failure, retry instead. Failure is treated as "no link". (default: off)
-F | --ignore-fail-positive
Ignore detection failure, retry instead. Failure is treated as "link detected". (default: off)
-i | --iface=IFACE
Specify ethernet interface (default: eth0)
-r | --run=EXEC
Specify program to execute when link status changes (default: /etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action)
-I | --ignore-retval
Don't exit on nonzero return value of program executed on link change. (default: off)
-t | --poll-time=SECS
Specify poll time in seconds (default: 1)
-u | --delay-up=SECS
Specify delay for configuring interface (default: 0)
-d | --delay-down=SECS
Specify delay for deconfiguring interface (default: 5)
-m | --api-mode=MODE
Force a specific link beat detection ioctl() API. Possible values are auto, iff, wlan, ethtool, mii, and priv for automatic detection, interface flag (IFF_RUNNING), wireless extension, SIOCETHTOOL, SIOCGMIIREG resp. SIOCPRIV. Only the first character of the argument is relevant, case insensitive. (default: auto)
-q | --no-shutdown
Don't call the script for network shutdown on deamon quit (default: off)
-w | --wait-on-fork
When daemonizing, wait until the background process finished with the initial link beat detection. When this is enabled, the parent process will return the link status on exit. 1 means link beat detected, 2 stands for link beat not detected, everything else is an error.
-W | --wait-on-kill
When killing a running daemon (with -k) wait until the daemon died.
-x | --extra-arg=ARG
Specify an extra argument to be passed to the action script.
-M | --monitor
Don't fail when the network interface is not available, instead use NETLINK to monitor device avaibility. The is useful for PCMCIA devices and similar.
-h | --help
Show help
-k | --kill
Kill a running daemon (Specify -i to select the daemon instance to kill)
-c | --check-running
Check if a daemon is running for a given network interface. Sets the return value to 0 if a daemon is already running or to 255 if not.
-v | --version
Show version
-S | --supend
Suspend a running daemon. The daemon will no longer check the link status until it is resumed (-R) again. (Specify -i to select the daemon instance to suspend.)
-R | --resume
Resume a suspended daemon. (Specify -i to select the daemon instance to resume.)
-z | --info
Request that a running daemon shall write its status information to syslog. (Specify -i to select the daemon instance to send the request to.)
FILES
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.conf: this file is sourced by the init script /etc/init.d/ifplugd and contains the interface to be monitored and the options to be used.
/etc/ifplugd/ifplugd.action: this is the script which will be called by the daemon whenever the state of the interface changes. It takes two areguments: the first is the interface name (eg. eth0), the second either "up" or "down".
/var/run/ifplugd.<iface>.pid: the pid file for ifplugd.
ENVIRONMENT
The action script will be called with two environment variables set:
IFPLUGD_PREVIOUS The previous link status. Either "up", "down", "error" or "disabled". The former values should be obvious, the latter is set on daemon startup.
IFPLUGD_CURRENT The current link status. See above for possible values.
SIGNALS
SIGINT, SIGTERM ifplugd will quit, possibly running the shutdown script. This is issued by passing -k to ifplugd.
SIGQUIT ifplugd will quit, the shutdown script is never run.
SIGHUP ifplugd will write its status information to syslog. This is issued by -z.
SIGUSR1 ifplugd will go to suspend mode. (-S)
SIGUSR2 ifplugd will resume from suspend mode. (-R)
