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.
