Hi,

Oh so this is a custom thing?

Obviously most users won’t use this. If you care much about your custom script, you can write a script that searches a directory and calls all scripts in it (like /etc/init.d/networking/red.up/ and /etc/init.d/networking/red.down/).

Another great example how OpenVPN breaks running installations.
