My thought was on that dispatcher service within Networkmanager. Its inside Networkmanager and can notify services when new connections are established. It looks a little like sysvinit scripts. Thats something like a central knob that can execute actions whenever you do something with Networkmanager. Ok thats nothing about wicked and would probably be a big breakdown in the way all that works. Why isnt there a central knob in linux wether it is online or offline. All do something different to try to find out if theres connection or not, as it seems. sorry for OT (dont need to answer this). Greetings,
