[plug] Debian ip-up script not running in persist mode?

[Adrian Woodley]

Andrew,

If this is a ppp-based connection, you may find that it runs the scripts 
in /etc/ppp/ip-<up|down>.d on every (re)connection, but only run 
/etc/network/if-<up|down>.d when the interface is actually brought up or 
down.
