Running a script if eth0 is up

jevin · 04-03-2007, 04:44 PM

I need to find out how to run a script when eth0 is up [starts up]. i found a tutorial that explains exactly what i want to do and how to do it, but that would only work for ubuntu/debian machines. I'd like to find out how to do this for fedora.

fedora has a set of script files located at: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ but i'm not sure which one i have to edit to "run a script at NIC startup" or where i should put the script execution line.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

correct me if i'm wrong: i think that would run the script at system startup.

But i want the script to run every time eth0 comes up [whether it's at system startup or if the system is already running, but the network went down and came back up].
