			====Dispatcher.d Directory====
			----

			The <b>/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d</b> directory is used by NetworkManager to execute custom scripts in response to network events. It's part of the <b>NetworkManager-dispatcher</b> service, which listens for changes in network state and triggers scripts accordingly.

			🛠️ What Happens in This Directory?
			* It contains executable scripts that are run when specific network events occur.
			* These scripts are typically written by system administrators to automate tasks like:
			** Configuring additional routes when an interface comes up
			** Restarting services when a VPN connects
			** Logging network changes for auditing
			** Adjusting firewall rules dynamically

			📦 How It Works
			Scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d are executed in alphabetical order.

			Each script receives two arguments:
			* Interface name (e.g., eth0, wlan0)
			* Action (e.g., up, down, pre-up, vpn-up, hostname, dns-change, etc.)


			<b>Real world example</b>: Having a script that disables/enables Wifi depending on the eth state. If the Ethernet connection is active (up), it disables WiFi; if the Ethernet connection is inactive (down), it enables WiFi.
