<title>Description</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
NetworkManager-dispatcher service is a D-Bus activated service that
|
|
runs user provided scripts upon certain changes in NetworkManager.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
NetworkManager-dispatcher will execute scripts in the
|
|
<filename>/{etc,usr/lib}/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d</filename>
|
|
directory or subdirectories in
|
|
alphabetical order in response to network events. Each script should
|
|
be a regular executable file owned by root. Furthermore, it must not be
|
|
writable by group or other, and not setuid.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Each script receives two arguments, the first being the interface name of the
|
|
device an operation just happened on, and second the action. For device actions,
|
|
the interface is the name of the kernel interface suitable for IP configuration.
|
|
Thus it is either VPN_IP_IFACE, DEVICE_IP_IFACE, or DEVICE_IFACE, as applicable.
|
|
For the <varname>hostname</varname> action the device name is always <literal>"none"</literal>
|
|
and for <varname>connectivity-change</varname> it is empty.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>The actions are:</para>

|
|
directory, and NetworkManager will wait for script execution to complete before
|
|
indicating to applications that the interface is fully activated.

Dispatcher scripts are run one at a time, but asynchronously from the main
|
|
NetworkManager process, and will be killed if they run for too long. If your script
|
|
might take arbitrarily long to complete, you should spawn a child process and have the
|
|
parent return immediately. Scripts that are symbolic links pointing inside the
|
|
<filename>/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/no-wait.d/</filename>
|
|
directory are run immediately, without
|
|
waiting for the termination of previous scripts, and in parallel. Also beware that
|
|
once a script is queued, it will always be run, even if a later event renders it
|
|
obsolete. (Eg, if an interface goes up, and then back down again quickly, it is
|
|
possible that one or more "up" scripts will be run after the interface has gone down.)
