or the parent directory as interface name). When IP address is obtained or lost,
var_service/dhcp_if/dhcp_handler is run. It saves new config data to
/var/run/service/fw/dhcp_if.ipconf and (re)starts /var/service/fw service.
+This example can be used as a template for other dynamic network link services
+(ppp/vpn/zcip).
var_service/ifplugd_if -
watches link status of interface if. Downs and ups /var/service/dhcp_if
of ALL interfaces. Uses conf/*.ipconf (static config) and /var/run/service/fw/*.ipconf
(dynamic config from dhcp/ppp/vpn/etc) to determine what to do.
One-shot-ness of this service means that it shuts itself off after single run.
+IOW: it is not a constantly running daemon sort of thing.
+It starts, it configures the network, it shuts down, all done
+(unlike infamous NetworkManagers which sit in RAM forever, doing hell knows what).
However, any dhcp/ppp/vpn or similar service can restart it anytime
when it senses the change in network configuration.
