in /etc/rc.network we have these lines:
for ifn in ${network_interfaces}; do
if [ -e /etc/start_if.${ifn} ]; then
. /etc/start_if.${ifn} ${ifn}
fi
but to my best knowlege, the "." builtin doesn't take parameters.
Why am I missing?
if I create a start_if.fxp0 file, for example, that looks like this:
ifconfig $1 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
the $1 expands to nothing.
What am I missing? Is everybody else hardcoding the interface name into
start_if.ifn?
Thanks!
Tim
