Is it possible that we can add some loadable module into the kernel to get a

coming in / going out from the kernel to that particular daemon ? The thing
why I am in need of this is that there are two daemons , one daemon is
responsible for configuring the interfaces ...and the second is actually
awaiting the updates from the kernel ( that it should send in case it sees
that there is a change in the ifstate for the interface ---IFD update) ...
any resources / material would be of great help.Thanks and regards.
This won't give you exactly what you want, but if you don't know about it
already, you probably will find it useful. route monitor monitors routing
socket messages generated by the kernel, and includes the pid of the process
they are destined for. It doesn't include messages sent to the kernel. As an
exampl:
