I access the internet through a modem and everything works well: www, email, ftp, news. Now I want to automize things.
I have been doing that for years... but if you have suse 8.1, you can see it in /etc/ppp/poll.tcpip.
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.
I don't find any "exec" keyword on "man wvdial". :-?
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.
It is not output to a console: daemons have none. In any case, it would go to a log file, or most probably, nowhere. Use "logger" instead. -- Cheers.
