I have a bunch of scripts that run on every start and wakeup. Some of those scripts do things like configure my machine depending on where I am (for example, detect presence of my home WiFi).

It doesn't seem like you'd be able to do that on wakeup. Don't you have to put those kinds of commands in a hook that runs after a wifi link state change?

I am not sure what you mean. As bad as it is, systemd actually supports running stuff on wakeup. One figures, it has support for everything.

What I mean is that when the machine wakes up, it's not associated with a wifi network until later, so isn't it a race if such a thing runs at wakeup?

OK so we sleep for 30 seconds and try again, maybe give up after 5 or 10 iterations of this. What's the problem?

Or have a script running on when network comes up and you check if you just freshly came from the sleep.
