[maemo-developers] Delaying actions on network availability

[From: olle]

Hi all!

I've set up OpenVPN to tunnel all traffic on my N900 and it works beautifully with /etc/network/if-up / down scripts.

Problem is, while OpenVPN is connecting, the IM clients all connect and then when the tunnel is up and default route is re-set it takes ages for them to time-out and reconnect.

Is there any way to delay actions that happen on network availability (IM connect, mail sync, etc.)?

Cheers,
