Default Any reference on /etc/network/*
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi all,
Is there any reference on what files in /etc/network/* do?
For example, from google they said about this option: pre-up.
Where can I know more about it?
Thank you,

In a terminal try the command

man interfaces

Use the up / down keys to navigate and "q" to quit. IIRC there is a bit
about the directories /etc/network/*/ near the middle of it.

You might want to look into fixing your sig... :-)

An easy way to view the man pages is to simply us F1 (System|Help...) -
or from the terminal: yelp

When help comes up: Advanced Topics|Terminal Commands...|Configuration
Files|Interfaces etc.

Makes it easy to keep the man page up on a window while still using the
terminal window to try out the commands, etc. Also makes it easy to
print in a proper format or to a cupspdf printer if you want to keep for
future reference.

Thats the easy way ?

If you're running Gnome, hit Alt-F2 to bring up the run box, then type
man:interfaces
Don't forget the colon.
It'll get you to exactly the same place NoOp is sending you, without
using the rat-tailed clicking thingy....

Odd - typing 'man:interfaces' into the 'Run' box gives me this:
The requested URI "man:///interfaces" is invalid

Off to google....

Google tells me that this works:

yelp man:ls

and I agree

Doesn't work for me. But just plain man interfaces in a terminal
works great.

Well, actually:
$ yelp man:interfaces
in this case. But then on my system yelp 'yelps':

** (yelp:10388): WARNING **:No listener with the specified listener id 1
etc. when yelp is closed from the GUI.

With reference to the "rat-tailed clicking thingy":

Applications|Accessories|Terminal
3 clicks + 19 characters to be typed

F1|Advanced Topics|Terminal Commands...|Configuration Files|Interfaces
1 button, 4 clicks

But then if you want to easily see & print all the other bits in
/etc/network/* you can use:
F1|Advanced Topics|Terminal Commands...|System Administration
and find ifup, ifdown, ifconfig, etc. So (IMO) in many cases this is
certainly easier for someone just starting w/linux/ubuntu. Obviously you
can do 'man <command> for all of the above, but sometimes just having
all the commands (most anyway) to scroll through and look at & select is
quite useful.
