No wonder. You were supposed to put it in /etc/network/if-up.d, not in
/etc/network/if-up, that path doesn't even exist.

Chuck wrote about this issue in a message to the list. I've got a copy
of it here, but rather then forwarding to the list what is already in
the archive, let me see if I can find it in the archive, and provide
the URL instead. Yup, here it is:

As for deleting the bash history, I seem to recall that this can be
enabled in a local profile, or in a per-user bashrc, but I'm not sure
about that.
