Hello,
I’m trying to have MBL automatically switched off after network disconnection.
I’m looking for a SW trigger linked to network disconnection event, that calls a sh script like ‘halt’.
I wish to avoid polling solution (cron sh with router ping every X seconds, that, when failed, exceutes ‘halt’).
I found this simple script:
http://www.techytalk.info/start-script-on-network-manager-successful-connection/
but it needs NetworkManager to work, could it be a good idea to install it on MBL?
Thank you!

This should be possible but you would have to track down the script that is run when a network disconnection is detected.
Are you saying that you will be physically unplugging the cable or is there some other way your disconnecting the MBL from the network?
Hi,
I mean to detect when the network switch where the MBL is physically connected is shut down, so the MBL network goes down.
I wish to catch the same event that makes the led blinking yellow (no network link), to have the MBL switched off.
Thank you!
I managed to obtain what I want, simply by adding this line in /etc/network/interfaces:
post-down halt
This means that when the network interfaces goes down, the MBL is switched off!
