Automatically retry to connect eth if not connected - possibly ifplugd??
February 23, 2016 08:13AM
Hi

I installed the debian rootfs but I have one problem due to my setup.

The Pogoplug is connected to a router which is not permanently on. And when I switch on the pogoplug, eth is not connected and I have no way of shutting it down cleanly as eth is down.

Is there a way of automatically trying to reconnect eth0 if no connection is there until a certain timeout (e.g. 3 minutes) and after that to cleanly shut down the pogoplug?

Would ifplugd be an option? Any experiences with it?

Thanks,

Rainer
