ifstated —
Interface State daemon
ifstated |
[-dhinv] [-D
macro=value]
[-f file] |
The ifstated daemon runs commands in
response to network state changes, which it determines by monitoring
interface link state or running external tests. For example, it can be used
with carp(4)
to change running services or to ensure that
carp(4)
interfaces stay in sync, or with pf(4) to test server or link availability and modify
translation or routing rules. The options are as follows:
-D
macro=value- Define macro to be set to
value on the command line. Overrides the definition
of macro in the configuration file.
-d- Do not daemonize and log to
stdout.
-f
file- Specify an alternate location, file, for the
configuration file.
-h- Print help message.
-i- Ignore initial interface states.
-n- Configtest mode. Check config validity, then exit.
-v- Verbose mode. Use twice to further increase verbosity.
Upon receiving SIGHUP,
ifstated reloads the configuration file.
- /etc/ifstated.conf
ifstated configuration file.
The ifstated program first appeared in
OpenBSD 3.8.
