Does fw4 "publish" events to hotplug like fw3 does? In 21.02.x, fw3 apparently calls /sbin/hotplug-call. In 22.03.3 I couldn't find anything similar for fw4. Furthermore, the suggested test on hotplug produces nothing with fw4. It works with fw3.

[image] RuralRoots: Hotplug works with procd (process management daemon). When procd detects a trigger event, it just calls all scripts in the trigger event directory in alpha order. Well, fw4 doesn't trigger any event. Fw3 does. [image] RuralRoots: Well, if you are looking for the envi…
