avahi-autoipd.action
avahi-autoipd.action(8) System Manager's Manual avahi-autoipd.action(8)
NAME
avahi-autoipd.action - avahi-autoipd action script
SYNOPSIS
/etc/avahi/avahi-autoipd.action
DESCRIPTION
avahi-autoipd.action is the action script that is called whenever an IP address has been acquired by avahi-autoipd or when it detected an
IP address conflict. The script should add or remove the specified address from the specified network interface.
PARAMETERS
argv[1] An event string: one of BIND, CONFLICT, UNBIND or STOP. If BIND is passed an IP address has been sucessfully acquired and the
script shall add it to the network interface. If CONFLICT is passed avahi-autopid detected a IP address on the local network, the action
script should remove the configured IP address. If UNBIND is passed the IP address should be removed from the interface, too, because a
routable address has been configured to the interface by some other program. If STOP is passed the avahi-autoipd is being shutdown and the
action script should remove the IP address. In short: on BIND the address should be added to the interface, on CONFLICT, UNBIND or STOP it
should be removed.
argv[2] The network interface name.
argv[3] An IP address from the IPv4LL range.
