Comment 4 for bug 1628552

well i've now been able to restart 3 of the 4 systems about 5-10x each through the day. all have had their gateway and dns- settings from /e/n/i reliably set. that is, until now. i've got one system that did not get gateway or dns- settings.

is there a way to check for a failure status code tied to ifup or resolvconf runs during startup?
