NETREPORT(1)                                   General Commands Manual                                   NETREPORT(1)



NAME
       netreport - request notification of network interface changes

SYNOPSIS
       netreport [-r]

DESCRIPTION
       netreport  tells  the  network management scripts to send a SIGIO signal to the process which called netreport
       when any network interface status changes occur.

OPTIONS
       -r     Remove the current request (if any) for the calling process.

NOTES
       If a program does not call netreport with the -r option before it exits, and another process is  created  with
       the  same  PID  before  any  changes  take place in interface status, it is possible that the new process will
       receive a spurious SIGIO.
