Bug 42804 – Allow ifplugd options dedicated to specific device

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Petric Frank 2004-02-24 13:56:06 UTC]

sys-apps/ifplugd allows only a global definition of start parameters. They
apply to all controlled devices. It should allow the definition of different
ifplugd start parameters per controlled device.

I added in /etc/conf.d/ifplugd new entries in the way:
  ARGS_<device>="-a -w"

Sample:
  ARGS_eth0="-a -w"

This requires a change in /etc/init.d/ifplugd. The start function have to
look like:

start() {
        einfon "Starting ifplugd: "
        for IF in $INTERFACES ; do
                echo -n "$IF "

                ARGS_IF="$(eval echo \$\{ARGS_${IF}\})"
                if [ -z "${ARGS_IF}" ]
                then
			# use $ARGS if none given for this device
                        ARGS_IF=${ARGS}
                fi

                $IFPLUGD -i $IF $ARGS_IF
        done
        echo
        eend 0
}

Reproducible: Always

Expected Results:  
Allow seperate ifplugd options for different controlled network devices.

is this still an issue wiht ifplugd-0.25 ?

[Comment 3 Petric Frank 2004-05-18 11:00:12 UTC]

Had a look to version 0.25.
It seems that this bug does no more apply to ifplugd if version 0.25 is active.
But version 0.25 is actually marked unstable.
