Howdy, trying to get sendmail and fetchmail automated on dial in, have set the lines in ip-up.local, and configured sendmail and fetchmail, but, when ip-up.local is executed from dial in these lines will not run, if i manually run /etc/ppp/ip-up.local they kick off and work fine. I know ip-up.local is being exectued automatically, since putting killalls for wvdial and ppd at the end works. i've surfed about but can't find anything about permissions or whatever, this fails to run either as root or my normal user.... thoughts anyone? -- Jim Boone -------------------------------------------- Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College R&D Manager - Computer Support Services Tel: 01494 522141 ext 3569 I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab. I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate. All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last week. Time to die.
