    Detect Network Change

    Can one detect when the address of a network interface has changed programmatically?

    Can one detect when the network interface went down?

    Furthermore how can I get statistical information ex the received and send packets from the interface.

    Many Thanks,

    Albert

    Yes. And this thread ought to be moved to "Linux Programming & Scripting."
    Otherwise, a good understanding of creating Linux daemons and shell scripting is helpful.

    If you can use DBUS and are using Network Manager you can query NM directly.

    Also, moving to Programming/Scripting
