Is the file /etc/ppp/ip-up read every time a ppp connection is established? I looked around quite a bit and coudn't find anything about that. I use a moden to connect to my ISP.
I have been busting a nut trying to configure a few things just right and then I stumbled across this file with most of what I would like to do commented out. I would be quite pleased if all I had to do was delete a few # symbols and enter in some site specific info. If this is so I will have to join the throng of folks praising the suse team on a job well done.
On my system (6.3) ip-up is a shell script and yes it is used every time you make a connection to your dial up account.
What are you trying to do? -- Bob F
I was trying to fine tune the sendmail configuration from yast. Don't get me wrong, it worked flawlessly for what it was intented to do. Just wanted it to send my mail when I make a connection and have fetchmail get my new mail. After a few days of digging I finally found what I wanted, In the SuSE manual, my bad :( (feeling pretty stupid). I then stumbled upon the ip-up script and found the section #Maybe you want to start mail services Now that I know it is run at every ppp connect I just have to configure fetchmail, uncomment the proper lines, and I'm good to go. Thank you for the info.
