Hi all;
I'm using PPP at the command line to connect to my ISP. Sometimes it is very slow or worst it picks up the phone but does not make a connection.
Does anyone have a script to delay my fetchpop & sendmails commands until there is a connection? Perhaps checks for a connection before it runs the rest of my script? Right now I first run ppp-on and then (by hand) run the rest of my script.
Put your script in /etc/ppp/ip-up. It will be run automatically by pppd once the link is up and packets are being exchanged. See man pppd(8) for details.
