NETCTL.SPECIAL(7)
=================
NAME
----
netctl.special - Special netctl systemd units
SYNOPSIS
--------
netctl.service, netctl-auto.service, netctl-ifplugd.service
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Bundled with netctl come a few systemd units that are not controlled
through the netctl command. They can be used through the systemctl
utility of systemd.
SPECIAL UNITS
-------------
netctl.service::
When started, this unit tries to start the profiles that were
running when the unit was last stopped. In some cases, the interface
a profile binds to might not be available yet, when netctl.service
tries to bring a profile up. A simple, hackish, solution is to do:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
echo "[[ -t 0 ]] || sleep 3" > /etc/netctl/interfaces/<interface>
chmod 755 /etc/netctl/interfaces/<interface>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
A more concise solution is to first enable a profile through netctl
and then disable it again through systemctl:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
netctl enable <profile>
systemctl disable netctl@<profile>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
This way the unit configuration file for the profile remains in
existence, while the profile is not enabled.
netctl-sleep.service::
When enabled, this unit stores and stops the active network profiles
before the machine is put to sleep. After the system is resumed,
previously stored profiles are restarted.
netctl-auto@<interface>.service::
This unit issues a scan on the interface it is used for and tries to
start a profile for a network it finds. It is targeted at wireless
interfaces. Profile specific values for WPADriver are ignored, but
it is possible to specify WPADriver in an interface hook
('/etc/netctl/interfaces/<interface>'). +
Use *netctl-auto*(1) instead of *netctl(1)* to control the automatic
profile selection when using this unit.
netctl-ifplugd@<interface>.service::
This unit starts ifplugd on the interface it is used for. It will
try to start a netctl profile whenever a cable is plugged into the
interface and stop the profile when the cable is unplugged. Note
that this unit does not provide network.target.
