running a script just after dhcpd

[xineg]

i have just made a script that grabs my ip and then ftp's it to a web server because i want to connect to my gentoo box at home ( from work ) that uses dhcp to get a dynamic ip,
how do i run the script just after the dhcpd obtains my ip address after boot.

the last thing on boot it seems to do is obtain my IP address (dhcpd) then i am presented with the login.
i need this script to run automatically after the dhcpd has obtained my IP.

In your /etc/conf.d/net, put

my /etc/conf.d/net file just had this in it

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).

so i added the line

dhcpcd_eth0=" -c /home/genix/IP/ipscript"

the dhcpd still worked but alas it did not execute the ipscript on startup

Are you using dhcpcd? Otherwise you will need to emerge it first. Other relevant configuration options are

yea im using dhcpcd


my /etc/conf.d/net now looks like this

# This blank configuration will automatically use DHCP for any net.*
# scripts in /etc/init.d. To create a more complete configuration,
# please review /etc/conf.d/net.example and save your configuration
# in /etc/conf.d/net (this file :]!).
config_eth0="dhcp"
dhcpcd_eth0=" -c /home/genix/IP/ipscript"
