I've not used nmcli in any of its more intricate ways, but are there some easily-parsed commands which will allow me to tell whether an Ethernet interface is up (a la 'nmcli conn up/down') AND the cable is connected ('link/carrier state')? I can grab some hints of the latter with /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier, but would prefer an approach that is harmonised through nmcli. Are there a couple of sub-commands that can be used rather than parsing the full 'nmcli dev show' output? e.g. to output a couple of specific fields.
Hi, how about: LANG=C nmcli -t -m tabular -f WIRED-PROPERTIES.CARRIER device show "$DEV" Thomas
