You could easily modify this to use logger to log to syslogd. First, i use /var/log/ppp.connect as the report file. In /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/, i have this script: #!/bin/sh CONNECTFILE="/var/log/ppp.connect" SPEEDFILE="/var/run/ppp-speed.$PPP_IFACE" cat $CONNECTFILE | perl -ne 'print /CONNECT (.*)/' > $SPEEDFILE echo -n > $CONNECTFILE Now, /var/run contains the info that i want. I've even set up a script in /usr/local/bin to extract just the speed from that line. In your case, you could change "> $SPEEDFILE" at the end of line 6 to "| logger -i -p local2.info" to log to syslogd. man logger for more info, and check /etc/syslog.conf if local2 doesn't log to /var/log/ppp.log. - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBN9g/ir7M/9WKZLW5AQELkwP/W58c4sKOuhT0NHkgeLQawgUVWUg57nMp lKRowaRWGcx23xQXCypbmg3b8iqrDhtustrB/WMVJ0pkb/xr1D+j7oRzEjMNAK+J gSTXUkDYRjwh9Ia264YQX9Z64vUdrE0DhzHMTJqJuTa7Y8y0Z7i+NSrsK69r1gjH UrrYygB29h8= =NERa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
