+<p>
+      NetworkManager-dispatcher service is a D-Bus activated service that
+      runs user provided scripts upon certain changes in NetworkManager.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      NetworkManager-dispatcher will execute scripts in the
+      <code class="filename">/{etc,usr/lib}/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d</code>
+      directory or subdirectories in
+      alphabetical order in response to network events.  Each script should
+      be a regular executable file owned by root.  Furthermore, it must not be
+      writable by group or other, and not setuid.
+    </p>
+<p>
+      Each script receives two arguments, the first being the interface name of the
+      device an operation just happened on, and second the action. For device actions,
+      the interface is the name of the kernel interface suitable for IP configuration.
+      Thus it is either VPN_IP_IFACE, DEVICE_IP_IFACE, or DEVICE_IFACE, as applicable.
+      For the <code class="varname">hostname</code> action the device name is always <code class="literal">"none"</code>
+      and for <code class="varname">connectivity-change</code> it is empty.
+    </p>
+<p>The actions are:</p>

+        symlinked into the <code class="filename">/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/pre-up.d</code>
+        directory, and NetworkManager will wait for script execution to complete before
+        indicating to applications that the interface is fully activated.

+        directory, and NetworkManager will wait for script execution to complete
+        before disconnecting the interface from its network.  Note that this
+        event is not emitted for forced disconnections, like when carrier is
+        lost or a wireless signal fades.  It is only emitted when there is
+        an opportunity to cleanly handle a network disconnection event.

+      In case of VPN, VPN_IP_IFACE is set, and IP4_*, IP6_* variables with VPN prefix are

+    </p>
+<p>
+      Dispatcher scripts are run one at a time, but asynchronously from the main
+      NetworkManager process, and will be killed if they run for too long. If your script
+      might take arbitrarily long to complete, you should spawn a child process and have the
+      parent return immediately. Scripts that are symbolic links pointing inside the
+      <code class="filename">/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/no-wait.d/</code>
+      directory are run immediately, without
+      waiting for the termination of previous scripts, and in parallel. Also beware that
+      once a script is queued, it will always be run, even if a later event renders it
+      obsolete. (Eg, if an interface goes up, and then back down again quickly, it is
+      possible that one or more "up" scripts will be run after the interface has gone down.)
