Running arbitrary commands on connect

2007-02-25 Thread Yaakov Nemoy
Hi, I'm looking at putting together a custom stack of apps to run when creating an ad-hoc network (ie dhcp, dns). Is there a simple way to have Network manager run an arbitrary command(s) on the creation of specific ad-hoc networks? If not that, where can i find a reference on the DBUS interface

Hello. Let me start off by stating that this is not a flame; nor is it an attempt to deride your work. Rather, I wish to explain the reasons NM fails for me; that they may be fixed and your programme made better. Firstly, my set up. I use Debian Sid (unstable) with kernel 2.6.20, KDE 3.5.6 (so KN

Hi, I think it's been around 9 months since the 0.6.4 release of network manager. Since then a lot of stuff and improvements has gone in. So I was wondering if the maintainers are planning on releasing a new version soon. I think it's a good idea, because network manager will receive more testing
