Greetings,
I think this has been discussed on this list before, but my quick
searches of the list didn't turn up anything.
I'm looking for a way to monitor the up/down status of an Ethernet
interface. I recall seeing something, "ifmon" or something like that,
that was basically just a very simple daemon program that does this?
Anyway, I know I can repeatedly poll IFFLAGS and just watch for
up/down transitions, but I was under the impression that there was a
more efficient (i.e. event style) type interface available. I was
hoping this "ifmon" program would show me how to do that.
Thanks,
Pete
