Noted.
Since my base definition of those interfaces occurs in /interfaces,
/interfaces
?FORMAT 2
net EXTIF optional,physical=eth0,...
vpn1 VPNIF optional,physical=tun1,...
this, then, would 2nd instance of the declaration, and may cause collisions (?).
/params
EXTIF=eth0
VPNIF=tun1
what'd be the 'cleanest' method/place to declare the shell vars, and -- ideally
-- avoid any reducndancy?
Though a bit 'kludgy', I believe this should (?) work,
/params
EXTIF_SHELLVAR=eth0
VPNIF_SHELLVAR=tun1
/interfaces
?FORMAT 2
net EXTIF optional,physical=$EXTIF_SHELLVAR,... <=======
NOT SURE abt this usage
vpn1 VPNIF optional,physical=$VPNIF_SHELLVAR,...
/lib.private
...
start_lsm() {
...
device=$EXTIF_SHELLVAR
...
device=$INTIF_SHELLVAR
...
}
...
where EXTIF & VPNIF are, then, used throughout the SW config files, and
$EXTIF_SHELLVAR & $VPNIF_SHELLVAR are used, uniquely, in lib.private.
