How do I format the script what do I call the script? if a script called /etc/start_if.<interface name> exists, it will be called automatically, that is what the next line in /etc/netstart after the 'call startup scripts comment line' does. i.e. for ed0 the file needs to be called /etc/start_if.ed0. the commands need to be placed in this file in the same format as if you typed them in at your shell prompt (a shell script !!!!!)
