[Bill Kenworthy]

My take on Dales question - how do we tell the hooks are in use? -
config file somewhere, utility we can run? - or should they be marked
executable?

It looks to me like various apps are installing to that directory as
well and are in use ... maybe?  I presume its only those 3 scripts that
are affected but it would be nice to have enough to detail to know there
is a problem or not that needs investigating.


rattus ~ # ls -al /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks

A bit of experimentation will find out - but it will have to wait for now.
