- This instruction extends the functionality of Hotplug.
- Follow the automated section for quick setup.
- Run scripts at startup when the network is online.
- Use Hotplug to detect connectivity change and trigger network dependent scripts.
- Process subsystem-specific scripts with hotplug-call.
- Delay script invocation with sleep to work around tunneled connections.
- Write and read non-interactive logs with Syslog for troubleshooting.
