NetworkManager status during startup

2013-06-10 Thread Ignaz Forster

Hello,

during startup we have a few scripts that have to know if the system is 
online or not. Therefore we wanted to use "nm-online -x" to detect the 
state, however this fails quite unexpectedly: it seems NetworkManager 
needs some time between returning and actually listening to requests. In 
the meantime it will report the system as being offline.


Stopping NetworkManager and calling
NetworkManager; nmcli dev
has the same effect and will result in the message "Error: 
NetworkManager is not running."


Is this behavior intentional and / or are there any other ways to get 
the current state without polling manually?


Thanks a lot,
Ignaz

We'll need to do some more things before handling this properly (i.e.
the patch is not enough), see

I pushed this patch to git master.
