Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm new in the list...

I've been trying to do a CGI Perl script to monitor the status of diald.
It opens a named pipe and sends a monitor command to the control pipe. BUT
the flag <force> in the STATUS section doesn't seem to work. Acording to
the man page:

"The <force> parameter is 1 if in the current state diald wishes to force
the link to be up constantly. 2 if it wishes to force the link down
constantly, and 0 otherwise"

Reading this, I assume that if I send a "block" comand to the control
pipe, the force parameter should be 2, and if I send a "force" it should
be "1".
Is this correct?

In my machine the parameter flag is ALWAYS "0". Bug or feature?

BTW, I'm using diald 0.16.4 on Redhat 4.2 & kernel 2.1.101...

CU!
