Get_active_ifaces Suse equivalent

scooteroz · 07-31-2006, 09:47 AM

Hi there all I think (Read newbie) the below is a redhat type command what is the equivalent Suse command it should be read from /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts/functions

# check if networking is up, not counting localhost
if [ ! "`get_active_ifaces | /bin/grep -v 'lo'`" ]; then
exit 0

May thanks in advance.

regards

Mike

Not quite sure what you mean -- but to see status of currently active interfaces in SUSE as root (SU) type in IFCONFIG

For wireless specific interfaces type IWCONFIG.

I'm having the same problem.
Trying to get a slimserver install working and the startscript needs manual adjustment.

The error I get is
"./slimserver: line 15: .: /etc/sysconfig/network: is a directory
./slimserver: line 22: get_active_ifaces: command not found
"
The get_active_ifaces line in the script is
"
if [ ! `get_active_ifaces | grep -v 'lo'` ]; then
exit 0
fi
"

Is there something wrong with the path to the command or what?
