dhcpcd hooks: what are they and why should you care?
I know I didn't know what dhcpcd hooks were and why I should care about them. That is, until I set up a file server that runs headless and which I want to make sounds when certain events, such as the network coming up, occur. This, as may be evident, will help me ascertain whether, in absence of a monitor displaying graphical indicators, the machine booted and came online successfully--a pretty important status for a machine like a file server.
dhcpcd (the final "d" stands for "daemon") is, of course, the utility that runs on a lot of Linux computers in order to get them connected to the network. It polls for an IP from whatever dhcp (dynamic host configuration protocol) server is running on the network, and the IP received gets assigned to the computer's designated network interface. So the "hooks" under discussion essentially latch onto that process and cause some other process(es) to be triggered once dhcpcd accomplishes its task. This, then, could allow me to implement the desired behavior on my headless file server
