wvdial.conf, ip-up.local

I access the internet through a modem and everything works well: www, email, ftp, news. Now I want to automize things. Just for a test, I added the following line to /etc/wvdial.conf: WVDialMon Exec = echo "This is wvdial speaking" The message doesn't appear when connecting to my ISP. Then I created /etc/ppp/ip-up.local with the line echo "This is ip-up.local speaking" and the comment doesn't appear either. What am I missing? I am working with SuSE 8.0. ------------------------------------------------- Frank Hrebabetzky Tel.: +55 / 48 / 9998 7686 Florianopolis email: frankh@terra.com.br Brazil
