There is one big difference. Running it from postup() means it is started |

immediately after the interface is brought up. Put it in local.start and |

it will try to run even if the interface is down or the cable unplugged. |

The alternative would be to write your own rc-script with a depend on |
| 17 |
net.eth0. Unless you are already fluent in writing init scripts for |

runscript, this would be a lot more work. |
