Re: ip-down does not stop ip-up's "run-parts" on disconnect

[John Leget <johnjl@ihug.co.nz>]

Hmm no help here then im running 2.2.5-ac3, potato, and i see its up to version
2.3.7-2.
I dont think that alone is the problem "run-parts" ( invoked in both ip-up and
ip-down ) does of itself not exit until all the scripts it is trying to run finish.
And since i have 3-4 doing various downloads one after the other it only exits
"run-parts" when the last script finishes.

Ie i have found that "ip-down" kills the script in progress but not "run-parts" which
then happily continues on to run the next script etc.
Maybe there needs to be a modification to "ip-down" to terminate "ip-ups" spawned
"run-parts" . Either this is is a different problem or it aint :) been fixed .
Gues ill have to check on that reported bug then ?.

Eitherway im picking up shell scripting >;0) , cant loose <grin>

cheers
