Netplug is a Linux daemon that manages network interfaces in response to network cables being plugged in and out. If you’re familiar with Windows XP, which just does the Right Thing when you plug an ethernet cable into a laptop, netplug will need no further explanation.
Basically, netplug brings up an interface and runs a DHCP client when a cable is plugged into that interface, and it brings the interface down when the cable is unplugged. On a typical Linux system or laptop, you have to run a command (such as “/sbin/ifup”) manually to handle these events, but netplug automates this for you.

I’m interested in trying Netplug to Baltimore. It sounds very promising! I’m looking forward to using it.
Awesome post! Thanks for the effort in sharing this info here. Memphis Home Painters interior painter
Imagine you’re using a Linux laptop and you move between different locations where you connect to different wired networks. Instead of manually managing the network interfaces each time you connect or disconnect, Netplug handles everything in the background, ensuring you stay connected with minimal effort.
Netplug is a useful utility for Linux systems that automates the process of managing network interfaces based on cable connections.
