Leafnode on Debian uses a script do-fetch-news, which cron run periodically, that checks the variable $NETWORK in /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config. This variable can have two possible values: "PPP" and "permanent".
I think that a third value is missing, we can call it "online". Useful when leafnode runs on mobile devices for example. Can you suggest me a brief way to improve it. I suppose I can insert a script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ which checks when online and thes edits /etc/news/leafnode/debian-config accordingly. I also noticed that exists another script, network-test, that I can use for this. But I have one questions: 1. I don't understand if to trigger a script putting it into /etc/network/if-up.d/ is enough to run it when an interface goes up. Any clue?
