After I got tired of adding a network route everytime I started my machine, I added the ensuing line to a file 'route00' and saved it in /etc/network/if-up.d
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0 This works, but what I don't understand is why run-parts attempts to run the script five times, or is it because I have five virtual interfaces on eth0? run-parts echoes the following error on startup. Configuring network interfaces: SIOCADDRT: No such device run-parts: /etc/network/if-up.d/00route exited with return code 7 SIOCADDRT: File exists done. The last three lines are repeated five times. This brings me to my question. Where should I put my one line script 'route00' in order to add an extra route to a network without seeing the above errors on startup?
