Start a script on network connection

[Macburp]

Asus EE PC 701, with Linux Mint 9, connected with wireless (wlan0). The wireless connection is configured using the network manager applet

I want to run a script at network startup, so I don't get a network fail - the script starts dropbox, and it does work if I run it manually.

After a fair amount of reading I've tried putting the script in a number of places -

- etc/network/if-up.d
- etc/dhcp3/
- etc/NetworkManager/distributor.d

and none of these have worked. Checking recent entries in /var/log/syslog shows that NM tried to run the script in distributor.d, but if fails with 'error status=255' - very weird, as the script works fin if run manually.

Is there anythnig else I should be looking at to get this working?
