Xnetintf is an X Windows application that manages network interfaces. The current interface state is depicted through a series of bitmaps, and a mouse click in the window initiates a state transition.

Xnetintf uses a per-interface configuration file to supply commands that check and toggle state, as well as a program to run after the state change completes. A command line interface is also supported.

Here are some key features of "Xnetintf":
current interface state described through series of bitmaps.
mouse click on window initiates toggle of interface state.
per-interface configuration file to specify commands to bring interface up / down, as well as a command (e.g. a shell script) to run after the state change has been completed.
companion program -- ifsuex -- which permits safe root execution f an interface-specific command (like a stripped-down sudo).
command line interface (i.e. can be run without X Windows).
