I am trying to change an IP address on a machine running HPUX10
After I change it I can ping it from the outside but it completely locks the console. After a reboot it returns back to its previous IP. Any ideas??
Thanks

ifplugd.conf
ifplugd.conf(5) File Formats Manual ifplugd.conf(5)
NAME
ifplugd.conf - ifplugd configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ifplugd
DESCRIPTION
ifplugd.conf is the configuration file for ifplugd. It is a shell script that is sourced by the init script starting the daemon. It shall
be used to set environment variables which are interpreted by the init script:
OPTIONS
INTERFACES
Specifies the ethernet interfaces to monitor. It has to contain a space seperated list of network interfaces names. Most users will
probably use "eth0" here, however you may add additional interfaces for monitoring more than one device. A special value is sup-
ported as well: "auto" will enable a more or less working auto detection of available network devices. This won't make you happy
when using network module auto loading, since it cannot detect currently unloaded network devices.
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES
Specifies the interfaces that can be hotplugged (like interfaces on PCMCIA, USB or WLAN adapters). "all" can be used to make the
udev script start an ifplugd process for any hotplugged interfaces (except those already listed in INTERFACES).
ARGS Additional command line arguments for ifplugd invocation. See ifplugd(8) for further information.
ARGS_iface
If specified for an interface this variable takes precedence over ARGS. This may be useful if more than one network device is
present.
